This is from a regular small anti-abortion protest I've been seeing downtown. It's a cropped version of an image, for those that can't see the full sized one, since it's flagged as "retricted", due to its graphic nature.

This is from my photo shoot with Daniella (MM# 1771851) in Fish Creek Park. Daniella was great to work with. My only regret is we couldn't stay longer (though it was a long shoot).
