Assignment, Week 5: News coverage

Find a subject (a set event, an interesting story) and "cover" it in a photojournalistic style. Remember to also gather cutline information and use it to write captions for all of your photos:

Who: who are the subjects in your photo (names, and if relevant: year/major, home city, relation to event or organization [e.g. president of the group that's protesting, employee at local business, volunteer for NPO, etc.])
What: what is happening in the particular photo, what the subjects are doing
When: time of day and date
Where: where it's happening
Why: why is the subject matter relevant. Try to relate, or at least mention, the relation of the subject matter in the image to the overall story

A list of upcoming events is provided below, but if you know of anything else going on, feel free to use that instead.
