Photo: Tribute Artist Damian Blake, as Charlie Chaplin, faces the camera holding his iconic bamboo cane and a homemade sign in the shape of a cartoon quote circle, with the international red-with-diagonal-crossbar indicating "prohibited" in its center. The prohibited circle is filled with a drawing of an unhappy DJT wearing a 7-pointed jeweled crown, scowling eyebrows and a hitleresque moustache. Behind him a dozen or so of the event's thousands of other participants and the corner of a bright blue event shelter are visible, most of them well beyond the photograph's depth of field. Chaplin and his sign dominate the foreground. Chaplin, in character, seems to be repressing a smile. Chaplin is fully desaturated. His sign is not at all, but it's been painted in a thin wash and it has a faded look in the bright sunlight.
