I wasn’t originally planning on shooting the Iowa City Climate Strike. I’ve shot environmental protests before and if you’ve shot one, you’ve kind of shot them all. And besides, with this being election season in Iowa, any protest is going to turn into another political rally of some sort. But when I heard that Greta Thunberg was coming, well, it kind of forced my hand—whatever my views on using a child with aspergers to push a political point, she’s a public figure of some notoriety and she was going to be speaking a mile away from me. So I grabbed my gear and headed out.
