Marjorie McKelvy displays a sign for her husband Sean, who is deployed in Iraq, while marching at the United for Peace and Justice March on Washington to End the Iraq War on Jan. 27, 2008.

* I think this is good user-generated content because the author appears to have talked the protestor, Marjorie, and found out her personal story about her husband. Joe found out why she was at the protest and the meaning behind her sign. I also like the juxtaposition of the “END THE WAR!” sign in the background.

Chad Davis took this picture at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. on June 3, 2008 during one of Barack Obama's political rallies.

* I think this is good user-generated content because it shows the accessibility of our new President-elect and is personal. It definitely does not seem like a stolen photo. Also, I like it because it differs from the posed, political shots we often see everyday of Obama.

PROTEST

A twitter user was immersed in the Prop 8 protest on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2008 on the streets of Hollywood and marched along Sunset, Santa Monica and Hollywood boulevards.

* This photo shows the abundance of protestors, as well as the signs. It looks user generated, has good depth and is clear for being taken at night.
