Photojournalism Shots

Was covering Occupy Atlanta for my university's newspaper last semester (later promoted to photo editor this semester). Came away with these shots and a bruised neck from getting punched in the throat.

The Storm Troopers:

Kid got his face slammed pretty hard into pavement:

Protesters decided they could take over a street:

Cops decided they couldn't:

LEO. I was getting shots of a motorcycle cop that drove into a crowd of protesters. One of the cops was trying to push me out of the chaos, and once I got pushed up against a crowd and couldn't move back any more, I got punched in the throat. There was definitely a lot of tension between everyone involved.
