This was May 24, 2017. In the middle of a protest. A lot of independant photographers decided to come out and cover the protests due to the censorship we where living. This guy was across the street, trying to take photos. It was in this moment when I realized how funny I must have looked too.
Trust me when I say it's extremely hard to take photos with all this on.
I would have to add only, I also had a homemade vest made with x-rays. Apparently it helped with the rubber bullets. Thankfully I got a better vest later on. But I did feel like robo-cop on a budget.

Congrats Gaby, you win 7 points! I remember your powerful photos of the protests. Great work you did, and this one too - must be an unforgettable life experience for you and this photographer! How's the situation there now? I hope it's getting better and better!
Yay! I won 7 points! Well, in a constant tense calm. Just waiting for the bomb to explode. Personally I'm fine. But some days I feel like the musicians on the Titanic, everyone is fleeing yet I remain. I still have hope though. :)
See... and yet again you blow my mind... taking a good photo indeed with all that gear on... and yet you take AMAZING photos in those conditions wearing ALL that!
