A Tea Party rally at Renette Park in El Cajon drew several hundred people on Feb. 20, 2010. Speakers included congressional and gubernatorial candidates.

An email out of the blue from a French photo editor recently made me thank the SEO gods (and Photoshelter) yet again. Courrier International is a weekly newspaper based in Paris, and they were nice enough to bookmark the page of my tear sheet with a handwritten thank-you note.

The photo is from a Tea Party in El Cajon held in February of 2010, and it was used to illustrate Christopher Beam’s New York Magazine article on the Libertarian Party. You can see more of my photos from that rally in this gallery.

It’s great not only to be published abroad, since it’s my first such editorial photo, but also to be printed nice and large (roughly 6″ x 9″) is also very cool. Courrier International had some impressive layouts in general, with some massive double trucks elsewhere in the issue. People who like big photos are my kind of people.
