speaker.gif Tuesday's images from the DNC

By Mirissa Neff

Just back from a day of DNC madness. After haggling to get my press pass I walked through downtown Denver to meet up with Steve Jones and Kid Beyond at the "Big Tent." Along the way were some young protesters and some local color:

Kid Beyond was interviewing a delegate as I arrived then he and Steve blogged away:

Kid Beyond and I headed to the Pepsi Center to join the throngs of press folks trying to get in:

He got into the arena and I waited again to get a pass to shoot from the floor of the center... 20 photographers were granted this "golden ticket" but as we tried to gain entry it turned out that the fire marshall had shut down every entry to the arena. Essentially only photographers from the major news organizations got access during prime time... the rest of us were stuck waiting in the entry ramp:
