Stewart/Colbert Rally Signs · 08:07 PM

I tried posting these a while ago and something went wrong so trying again. Jon Stewart told everyone to bring signs. Just anything they felt like saying, whether political or stating that they don't like spiders. So here's a few for your entertainment. Enjoy!

Man sometimes people get weird. Nice work Mel. JIM

Ehlacore · 10-31-2010, 11:34 PM

haha, definatly want to see more

Funny ones Mel. Not sure if you agree but the rally was actually very hard to shoot from more than just a simple documentary aspect. We gotta do something about somehow getting press passes for these things.

Yes Mike. Press passes would rock. One thing that was so hard about this one was the density of the crowd. At the inauguration there were more people but the whole mall was open and you could hear and see from almost anywhere. With this one only at the front could you hear and see so it was packed. I could barely lift a camera at times, my arms were pinned to my sides. With all the lawn sections that were closed off the problem was much worse than it really had to be.

We need to start a media company or something?

LOL! Thanks for posting these Mel. I'll have a look at the rest of the set a little later.

This demonstrator at the G8 conference would have fit in well at the Stewart/Colbert rally:

Excellent!! I have a shot of a guy holding a sign that says "I like holding signs."

Wonderful! Gee I wish I could've been there (as I said before).
