Behind the Mask on the National Mall

A masked demonstrator speaks with a television reporter during a gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on November 5, 2013. Guy Fawkes masks fill the scene as protesters and media converge, capturing a candid moment where activism, anonymity, and public attention intersect. Photographed on 35mm film with a Nikon FM, the grain and monochrome tones lend a documentary quality to this snapshot of early-2010s protest culture in the nation’s capital. #EngelPhotography #WashingtonDC #NationalMall #GuyFawkesMask #ProtestPhotography #StreetPhotography #DocumentaryPhotography #Photojournalism #FilmPhotography #35mmFilm #BlackAndWhitePhotography #NikonFM #DCPhotography #Demonstration #Activism
