Here is some work by Dennis Yermoshin<\/a>, who lives and works in Houston Texas.<\/p>\n

Dennis was born in Baku, but his family came to the US as refugees in 1991. He has done some fantastic work on his family in America, which was featured on Foto8 some time ago, see more of it on Dennis’ site here.<\/a><\/p>\n

But the work shown here is from the new series Teabaggers’ Ball
<\/a><\/p>\n

“In preparation for the 2010 November elections, Tea Party members from eight surrounding Houston, Texas counties, gathered at Discovery Green Park in Houston on America\u2019s Tax Day \u2013 Thursday, April 15th as a conservative whole, uniting in liberal perspective to share and promote their ideas of progressive reform as well as their undeniable opposition to the Obama administration and their policies.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“The evening was filled with speeches given by Tea Party leaders from each of the participating counties as well as some other members. Proclaiming a need for a \u201cchange\u201d in American health care and their desire for bigger tax cuts while strongly criticizing President Obama’s efforts, the \u201cTeabaggers\u201d also supported local candidates for upcoming state elections. Each Tea Party had tables and booths set up in a smaller field near the entrance for promotional purposes, distributing handouts about themselves, collecting emails, and selling various political merchandise – t-shirts, buttons, etc.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“The diversity in age groups ranged from toddlers to elders, all united under one wing in their devotion to political activism and their patriotism for America.”<\/p>\n
