Description
An old file from this summer, when I was covering Anonymous's campaign against Scientology._____________________
More photos from this protest, and another are posted to my site, at the following links:
Sea Argh
Spy Vs Sci
_____________________
This was operation Sea Argh, a sort of pirate themed protest centered around Scientology's Sea Org(anization).
This man was not part of the protest, but in his own way, embodied the pirate theme, and so the crowd took to him quite well.
I asked if I could take his photo, he asked what "side" I was on.. I replied neither, but I support what anonymous is doing here..
The anonymous also backed my claim that I was indeed 'on the level' and he allowed me to take his photo.
This is uploaded as is, no cropping or ps work. I spared him his identity, and I think that makes this a more compelling frame because of that.

All of us who go to every protest (10) always make it out. Then there are others who make it too. We've recently gotten more people to join us (approx. 5 more). And we always have one documenting with footage.
December was decent, I missed most of it due to ACTs so by the time I showed up, not many people were there. I was told, however, it was great.
Certain members within the church are definitely irked by us making it nearly a year of monthly protesting. Especially with people like Gerry Armstrong.
We always keep people informed of how ever protest goes:

Such a good composition, the man at the back with the mask adds even more meaning, like if it had been prepared.
