G20 Protests London on the Behance Network
The event and atmosphere was largely peaceful and rather subdued. Although scuffles or outbreaks of violence involving the police took place, they were relatively few and far between. With any scuffle came a swathe of photographers and reporters eager to get shots of the action.
After the event, I walked home and switched on the TV. The coverage I witnessed on the news and in the media was almost unrecognizable to the event I had just seen. A largely peaceful event had been transformed beyond all recognition into full on, rioting in the streets of London.

something for last week’s homework.
some photos i had taken on my trip to the philippines were featured in a series on bakitwhy.com about Balikbayan (loosely meaning, “those returning to the Philippines”).
I’m not great with words, but I did take some photos when I got the chance to go to the PI for the first time at the end of 2008. It was truly a life-changing experience; I had no idea how much I had, and I had no way to appreciate how much my parents gave me until I saw where they came from.
I used the .kml provided here to overlay the most recent satellite images of Port-au-Prince in Google Earth, to try to see the extent of the damages. What I can’t see here are the human tolls from this devastating disaster.
