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.

a lengthy interview with some anti-scientology protesters present at the sidelines of the tax day tea party. they managed to speak about their cause - tangentially related to the tea party at large - for eight minutes, with specific criticisms and goals.

some interviewees from the tea party protests on 4/15, as well as a mounted officer near the rally site.

more misc photos from the tea party.

miscellaneous pictures of crowds and signs @ the 4/15 tea party.

found a stray flyer!
"HOW ABRAHAM LINCOLN REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH A PENNY" flyer.

this one was photocopied on longer paper than normal. some of the bottom of each page is cut off. comment if you really want the rest. the main text of each side is still included.

13MB zip containing all of my interviews.

The ones that didn't earn separate posts on this blog were of lesser interest, either for being short or having too much of me talking. See the "interview" tag for quick summaries and direct links to individual interviews with protesters present at the 4/15 Tax Day Tea Party protests in Chicago, IL.
