Welcome to ProtestShooter.com!
The primary long term goal of this site is to document protests around the San Francisco Bay Area, particularly in comparison to some of the older stuff I have in my archives.
I've been working both on hitting a couple of the more interesting ongoing protests and trying to get some old material online for comparison. The 2003-2005 Pride parades are particularly interesting because that covered the transition on gay marriage from "maybe someday" to "we got it!" to "we hate you all".
I also have some shots from events like the Folsom Street Fair where there might not be protesters per say, but they're sufficiently controversial to warrant a look - comparing my sense of what the event was like five years ago to more recent reports on other websites. I also intend to just generally use this site to show off some of my street photography which doesn't otherwise have a venue. Sometimes the lines are blurry in any case - the homeless in Berkeley often watch or join in events, looking for entertainment and handouts, and many of them make interesting photographic subjects but it's almost coincidental they happened to be at a protest at the time. Or not, as the case may be.
Do please check back often - I've been trying to get in regular updates on some of the ongoing protests in the area as well as major one time events. If you're a feed person, I do have a feed set up and even if you don't use feeds you can subscribe via email by clicking on the little orange icon. 
Please note the donation button, below. My expenses aren't too bad so far but it would be nice to not have to shoulder them alone (as it is I expect I'll never be compensated financially for my time or gear - we're talking gas money, parking, hosting fees, that kind of thing). If you can afford something in the $5 - $20 range without missing it too much that's perfect. You're welcome to donate any amount of course, but that's a range that I suspect a lot of my readers wouldn't miss and it adds up quickly on my end.
