This post made me think of the days when photography was not yet invented and they had artists at the courthouse to sketch the main actors of the drama (the defendant, the lawyers, the judge, the jury, the public) so that it could later illustrate the article in the paper.<br />Bardzo ciekawe.

The police: I think it was possible as sometimes demonstrators can show up. I will keep you posted. Right now most folks are asking for more research & hearings before a permit would be voted on. I sat in the back of the gym, & being a distanced observer helped to keep me calm.

With some people, I'm happy to stop my sketching & to chat about the process & some nice new worlds open up. With others I feel protective. In this case, I was in the very back of the gym, so I had complete privacy & I enjoyed that a lot.
