Gabe and fellow activist/photographer Eric Langberg discuss the uphill battle current photographers face during this moment of no media literacy, the misunderstanding of Vanity Fair's "bad" photos of the Trump administration, and the controversy of photographing protest movements and bystanders. Plus, what he chooses to photograph versus others at the same protests. Then, Eric fights with people on Reddit. And finally, we wonder what these ICE agents and people on the wrong side of history will feel about these photos in the future and figure out how to use whatever skills you have to help in the fight against fascism.
