The National Mall,
Washington, D.C.
On Saturday, January
27, 2007, approximately 250,000 people attended a
peace rally in Washington, D.C. An attempt was made to spell out
“IMPEACH!” in 100-foot letters on the grounds of
the
Washington Monument. If 1,000 people had shown up, their prone bodies
would have almost filled the entire green section at the bottom of
this image. However, organizers were able to draw only 200 people from
the
huge crowd gathering near to the Capitol, half a mile in the distance.
Via cell phone from the top of the Washington Monument, photographer
David Kidd directed the crowd on how to shrink down into the smaller
image seen here.
A great setting, a missed opportunity.
Planning is everything.
