Revisiting one of my old photo series. This is Union Station, in Los Angeles. I remember arriving at the station shortly after midnight, and just hanging around with my camera and tripod for the next hour or so. Surprisingly, and amateur photographers will appreciate this, not once was I approached by security or anybody else to question me, or to stop me from taking photos.
What is going on here!?
LOS ANGELES, November 9, 2004 – At 7:50 PM two armored tanks showed up at an anti-war protest in front of the federal building in Westwood. The tanks circled the block twice, the second time parking themselves in the street and directly in front of the area where most of the protesters were gathered. Enraged, some of the people attempted to block the tanks, but police quickly cleared the street. The people continued to protest the presence of the tanks, but about ten minutes the tanks drove off. It is unclear as to why the tanks were deployed to this location.
