Making Peace with Marijuana

May 1, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

As is probably obvious, this has been edited. The safety vest warn by the parade marshall was so bright, I had to tone it down as much as possible. I could have spent much more time doing a better job. I kept the picture, because I wanted to keep the woman making the peace sign.

Taken at an anti-racist rally outside City Hall in downtown Calgary on Sunday, March 21, 2010.

Health Care Let Down

October 24, 2009August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This wasn't actually the intended target (I was going for a wide angle crowd shot). But, this was the best part (or only good part) of the photo. It sort of caught the mood I felt from the weather and other things.
