Antiwar Activists in Denver

Stephen Swofford, Denver resident, says it only occurred to him a year ago that he could translate his love of photography into a career. He now appears to be a photojournalism student at Metro State College of Denver. Last week during the convention he took to the streets to and recorded antiwar protesters.

Here’s “Forrest” from Boulder giving a police phalanx the peace sign:

These antiwar protesters got a little more personal with police during a march:

Here, members of Iraq Veterans Against the War cheer after hearing that Obama will read their letter “calling for better veteran benefits, a quick withdrawal from the iraq war, and reparations to the iraqi people.”

And here is Code Pink, calling for immediate withdrawal from Iraq:

Well that and many other things.

[Update 2 September 2008: Stephen emailed to say that although he’s still a student, he’s working for one weekly paper and interning at another — so we’re probutcooling him retroactively and wish him the very best in his new career.]
