Situational Tour Location

View Larger Map


The location for the situational tour that I chose was the IRS building where the War Resisters League, and CODEPINK would be protesting the funding of the war. The reason that I chose this location for my situational tour was because it was one of the earlier events, as well as being conveniently located on the mall.


The way that I plan on photographing this event is that I plan to capture the action of the protest, as well as as taking pictures of the banners that they will be holding up. If there are police officers there I plan to take pictures that will show the contrast between the protesters and the police officers.


The way that the four key words ritual, security, authority and ideology will play a role in this event is not very apparent because I do not know what to expect as I have never been to an event such as this one. However I can hazard a guess and say that there will be a sense of authority with the presence of law enforcement. There will also be ritual if there are any chants that the protesters shout out. As for the ideology of the protesters, that is apparent as I suspect that they object the funding of the war with billions of taxpayer dollars.
