• This was our first go at using a disposable camera for a demo. The quality isn't fantastic, but Photoshop helps ... and gosh, those cameras are convenient. If pricey.

1. Long shot from north-east of the Org. You know, I never noticed the large sign saying 'KEEP CLEAR' on the road before this shot ;-)

2. Someone cleverly parks a truck in front of the Org to obscure the demo. So, of course, we disperse to all corners with large and readable signs, while their signs stay behind the truck ...

3. Public scientologist Matt, with daughter Georgia, handing out 'PUBLIC WARNING.

4. Public scientologist Tim Jones, occasionally of a.r.s (right), handing out a CoS Lisa McPherson leaflet and chatting to Cyril Vosper and another demonstrator.

5. Mary Anderson and another staffer handing out the CoS Lisa leaflet.

6. The CoS videographer wearing the famous Scientology Stare (the "fixed, dedicated glare" mandated by Keeping Scientology Working) ... when just standing around. Brian Johnston and another scientologist are behind him.

7.. The CoS photographer.

8. Small sign: '$cientology KILLS - RIP Lisa McPherson, December 5 1995'.
