Things to look forward to; my methods; etc

I plan to do more interviews at the July 4th protest, as well as any others in the Chicago area that I hear about in the interim. Hopefully I'll be able to obtain use of a good-quality video camera by then. If not, expect more audio and higher-quality photographs, as well as more scans of any fliers received.

If there's anything else you'd like to see, let me know in the comments.

I will continue to keep my questions as simple and unbiased as possible and simply let people speak with minimal interruptions. I am not a professional and have no prior journalism experience, nor any media contacts; I'm just a kid who wants to document a social movement. This time around, my leading question was along the lines of "Why are you out here today?/Why are you protesting?" with slight variations in wording as I got used to approaching people (this was honestly the first time I'd done anything like it).

I may branch out to other protests at some point, but that remains to be seen.
