This was a great weekend with 529 citizens showing up to have their photos taken for the Histories of Newark: 1758-2008 book we are designing.

Our 19711 zip code and part of a larger photograph of citizens who protest the Iraq war every Friday from 5:00 - 6:00 pm at the corner of Main Street and South College Avenue.

When most people come in they ask, “What do you want us to do?” I often say, “Can you do a cartwheel?” Well this group could.

One of those wonderful moments when we had a fireman come in with his full gear on and an amazed 10-year old. Then the offer, “Want to try it on?” gave us a great photos. A group that came in ready to play. We shot this one with them lying down and there are two other really good ones of them. This family of breakdancers really got into the fun of the photoshoot. We should be so lucky every day.

Two more days of this sequence of events we’ve been doing for the past five Fridays and Saturdays.
