Here are some photos I shot a few minutes ago while waiting for the protest to start. I will be back out there shooting more shortly.

More coverage coming shortly on here, [blogging.la](http://blogging.la/) and http://www.flickr.com/photos/eecue/tags/greatamericanboycott2007/.

The turnout wasn't as strong as La Gran Marcha last year but I estimate between 100,000 and 250,000 people are currently walking down Broadway. I just got word that they have just reached City Hall and when I left 6th and Broadway they were still coming down all the way back to Olympic. ~~I am currently uploading photos, please stand by.~~ [](https://eecue.com/p/28764/Protesters.html) **Update** According to the LA Times my numbers are way off, they [say it was in the tens of thousands](http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-march2may02,0,3947088.story?coll=la-home-headlines).
The online magazine [Downtown LA Life](http://downtownlalife.com/) has posted an [article on my photography](http://downtownlalife.com/) in their latest issue.
