[Photo] A Year in Protests

This month marks one year that I've been working at The Daily Californian, Berkeley's independent student-run newspaper. Over that year, I've covered my share of protests that we seem to have rather often. In fact, it doesn't seem like a semester unless there is a protest of some sort. Here are some photos from various protests that I've taken so far on assignment with The Daily Californian, including last year's Wheeler protest and Occupy Cal.

This is an excellent documentary (narrated by Morgan Freeman!) about the President's photographer. It mainly follows Pete Souza, President Barack Obama's Chief Photographer, but also goes back in history to other Presidents and their photographers. You get a very unique perspective of the White House through the eyes of the photographer and realize the importance and the demanding nature of the job. As a photographer, I found it extremely inspiring. I want to pick up my camera and go shoot in the middle of finals season. I also learned that Canons can take some decent photos . Side note: I love both Nikon and Canon, but prefer Nikon just a little bit more; maybe I'll post on that issue some time. Anywho, God bless America and PBS.
