Part 1: Anti Nuclear Protests across Tokyo
Yesterday, 6.11.2011, on the 3 month anniversary of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake that rocked Japan, set a tsunami in motion and the start of Japan's nuclear crisis. Anti Nuclear Protests across Tokyo; Nerima, Kodaira, Oizumi-Gakuen, Ochanomizu, Edogawa-ku, Shiba Park, Oji, Kasumigaseki, Shibuya, Kunitachi, Machida and Shinjuku. I attended the Shibuya and Shinjuku demos. Today’s Configuration: Canon 5DMKII with a 16-35mm f/2.8 and 24-70mm f/2.8. Fuji Film x100.

Down shift... I like the drawing on the sign on the left. One thing about Nuclear Protest photos...if you study them for a minute there is always something interesting you didn't notice at first as there is so much happening.
