OK. It was going to be a simple assignment at the White House. The President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, and his wife were in town for a visit with our President. Easy enough. Show up and photograph the short press conference, send the photos to ZUMA and head home.
But as I was leaving the White House, surprise of surprises, there was a protest. It seems there is ALWAYS someone protesting something on the north side of the White House. But when people are marching around with signs that have circumcision and penis written on them, it kinda gets your attention.
I did not spend as much time working for a great photo as I probably should have, but I thought this image was kind of funny.
The protesters, with stopinfantcircumcision.org, are planning to lobby Congress & petition the Supreme Court to put an end to what they are calling the outdated, unnecessary and inhumane medical procedure.
Okey Dokey.
At least in a time of record unemployment, two wars, poverty, cancer, AIDS, homelessness and countless other things that need our attention we have time to demonstrate against a true scourge on humanity.

Pete Marovich has always gone above and beyond and made each assignment his own. I've genuinely enjoyed and appreciated his efforts and his photos every time he has shot for us. It's rare to find his level of passion, dedication and raw talent; he's beyond a true professional.

“Pete has a great eye, and he works for a good image like nobody's business. The people on the other side of the lens truly interest him, and this passion shows in his work. He understands narrative, news, culture, and brings a wealth of life experience to his work. If you can work with Pete, do it!”
