I photographed around the perimeter of the US Capitol the evening before the inauguration of President Joseph Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Security was extraordinarily tight as a result of the violent insurrectionist riot at the Capitol just two weeks before.
There were multiple layers of high steel mesh fences, concrete barriers, manned checkpoints, and miles of razor wire securing the area. A total of 25,000 armed National Guard troops and police were deployed in order keep the area safe.
It worked.
Thank you to those who served.
The inauguration was uplifting, peaceful, and ushered in a hopeful new era to the nation.
