Keeping Abreast of Things at Venice Beach - Going Topless

There's always something interesting going on at Venice Beach.  On August 23, that meant a giant rally and parade of topless women - well, almost topless.  Interesting outfits, lots of spectators, and and a sea of people.  There are two main problems when photographing large events at the beach mid-day - people get in the way of each other and walk in front of the camera, and the middle of the day angle of the sun casting harsh shadows.  Thankfully, shooting digital in RAW allows you to lighten shadows and darken highlights.  And when someone walks in the way, well, it's digital, so you just delete those with no cost.  Here are some of the photos.
