Old SMC Pentax-M 50mm

Freethinkers at St Paul's. Not protesters. Their message is that 'everything is ok'. Not to be scared of terrorism, etc. They called the meet 'the Love Police'.

I'm just a photographer but I do agree with them that the threat of terror is a classic tool of authority to claim away rights - such s the right to photograph public buildings, police when they are abusing powers etc.

Keeping 'em scared = keeping 'em controlled.

Exactly. For exact reference - George Orwell explained it perfectly in his book 1984. Orwell worked for the Propaganda dept in WW 2. I think most street photographers (at least those under threat in countries such as the UK) would broadly sympathise with their message.

Ah . . . . looks like a meeting of the Texas state legislature. Nah - can't be; I don't see any clown noses.

Great images, BTW.
