Out in the Elements
It’s been a busy few months. I’ve been working three jobs: teacher, translator and photographer – so no time to post photos! The photography work was for Amnesty International, covering the annual assembly of the Spanish section of AI, which was held in Madrid at the end of April. One of the events during the assembly was a march through the city centre waving yellow umbrellas and banners that read “¡No más derechos a la intemperie!” – No more rights left out in the elements!
I expect most of the marchers had been hoping our demonstration would be accompanied by fine spring weather, but heavy clouds had been building all afternoon, and a few minutes into the march the heavens opened and down poured the elements. Not very pleasant for those that didn’t have a yellow umbrella to protect them, but it couldn’t have been more appropriate for the pictures…
