10/1

so
i have decided
that while i am back-posting snaps from various trips,
when something significant happened
on a certain date
i will interrupt my sequence of vackay photos
to document those events
in real time

this protest was in response to the continued violation of free speech by the regime

the particular incident that sparked it
was the raid on a photographer's home
where they
and another photographer staying with them,
had all their equipment seized and were hauled off to jail
Alexa
(who i know and deeply respect, and who has been an amazing chronicler of the pro palestinian movement)
was arrested for documenting an attack on the NYTimes a couple of months ago
it is an egregious violation of freedom of the press and of all of our 1st amendment rights
