President Obama visits Manchester, Talks Jobs

President Obama addressed a crowd, including the senior class, at Manchester High School Central on Tuesday afternoon, November 22, 2011 in Manchester, New Hampshire. Obama was in the state to rally support and discuss parts of the American Jobs Act which will be placed before Congress. During his speech, members of the New Hampshire faction of the Occupy Wall Street movement interrupted, echoing a claim that over 4,000 protesters have been arrested and bringing attention to the movement.

An idea dawned on me at the end of the event to grab the protesters and make portraits of them. Unfortunately there were only a few who remained. Sometimes ideas pan out and sometimes they don't. But next time I'll be ready!
