An angry political protest swept through the central square of Cuenca in a massive parade of chanting citizens. I was photographing in the square as the marchers appeared and made this shot in the late afternoon light. The dark shadows abstract the marchers, while the rim light illuminates the profiles of two of them bearing an organization’s red and white banner. One of the men is shouting, while the other claps. Later, there were a series of speeches, and the crowd dispersed. When I asked our tour leader what it was all about, she told me simply “It’s a dispute about community van services.” It was an anticlimactic definition of a turbulent afternoon.
