It is noon, March 6th. They parade onto the steps of the capitol building to perform an invocation, an event that normally occurs inside the chamber during the legislative session as it convenes each day. They are outside because they are not allowed inside. Even though they are legally considered a religion they are not the ‘right’ religion. The vast majority of invocations are given by those of the Judeo-Christian faith. But they are allowed to perform a ritualistic invocation outside on the capitol steps. The group, The Satanic Temple of Washington State, want all religions and faiths to have equal access to the halls of government. The images were captured with the Nikon FM3a, with the Nikon 50mm 1:2 and Nikon 28mm 2.8d lenses attached. I developed the film in HC-110(1:31) for 8 minutes, 15 seconds, @20C.
