"At first I thought they were protestors holding signs, but they were actually a group of amateur photographers who were standing in a circle holding out large photos they'd taken around the garden. Since they weren't able to get their work shown in a gallery, they decided to become a human gallery at the garden. They formed as a meetup group, and were asking garden visitors to upload their own photos to a virtual version of the gallery." [mov | wmv]]]>
