Int'l Photography Awards: OneShot “Street” Competition - Honorable Mention

A group of protestors disrupted by the use of mace & scare tactics. Taken around 2:45pm on January 20th, 2017 in Downtown Washington D.C., mere hours into Donald J. Trump's term as the 45th President of the United States of America.

I received an Honorable Mention in the OneShot Street Photography category for the Int’l Photography Awards.




The Grand Prize winner is what I consider to be one of the greatest photographs of the 21st Century, so it is an immense honor to be included in company such as this.
