Photographs from Tampa and the Republican Nation Convention

Here are a few images from my time in Tampa during the Republican National Convention.  Much of the photographs are of people who stayed at "Romneyville", the temporary Occupy encampment that was erected specifically for the convention.  Special thanks to everyone at the camp as well as those with the fortitude and determination to sleep outside during our brush with Hurricane Isaac.
