Yesterday I was tasked with photographing a small vigil of about 50 people at Green Lake Park for the victims of Friday's Newtown/Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. It was mostly silent and reflective, but every once in awhile people would break out in quiet song, with "We Shall Overcome" or "Silent Night." Later, attendees passed around a printed list of names of the victims, remembering them by having each person read a name and age aloud.

At one point about halfway through, the organizer thanked people for coming and made a few comments about what she thought the cause was. Others chimed in, disagreeing, offering other solutions. It was obvious that emotions were running high, and I was wondering how far the arguments would go. Quickly another woman stepped up and said: "I think I know why we're all here, and we're not here to argue. We're here to remember." Personally, there's been plenty of discussion back and forth on my newsfeed about the issues, so for right now, I'll just leave you with the photos.

Thanks for looking. Keeping the families in my thoughts.
