his audience by spraying orange soda and confetti over the entire crowd.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox talks with a supporter after
attending a breakfast hosted by local Mexican business leaders during
his trip to Salt Lake City in May 2006. After shooting his arrival and
introduction at the table inside the media was herded into the back of
the restaurant and restricted to not shoot until after they finished
eating. After about an hour I decided to go out front and
photograph him as he departed. Before getting into his
police-escorted limousine caravan he stopped to talk to a woman holding
a sign of support standing next to me. I like the fact that my car
is in the background over his shoulder. not the van. |

Los Angeles that same day for the same reason so there wasn't much
national interest in this little protest in Utah. |
