About 912Photos.com | Deb Phillips
Welcome to 912Photos.com!
I’m Deb Phillips, a freelance photographer based in Lewisville, North Carolina. Due to the actions and priorities of our current administration and Congress, I’ve grown increasingly concerned about the direction of our country. Yet I’ve also been inspired by the many Americans who are exercising their First Amendment rights in the spirit of The 9•12 Project.
In 2009, feeling as though I needed to begin doing more, I decided to attend the September 12, 2009 Washington, D.C. Tea Party and document it photographically. It was my participation in that historic event that spurred the launch of this website.
Articles & Photo Galleries
The first photo gallery on 912Photos.com — the Washington, D.C. Tea Party photo gallery — contains over 300 select images from the 2009 DC Tea Party event. In that gallery, you’ll see the faces, the signs — and the passion — of concerned Americans from all across the country who converged on Washington, D.C. on September 12, 2009.
Since that groundbreaking 2009 D.C. Tea Party rally, I’ve documented a number of Tea Party/conservative rallies. I also covered the progressive One Nation Working Together Rally and the very unusual Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, both of which were held in Washington, D.C. in October 2010. I felt it was important to document those particular non-conservative rallies.
I invite you to visit the Article Archives page, which provides links for all the rallies I’ve covered. You’ll see lots of photos and get to read my impressions of each event.
Although photos are available for purchase — helping me to cover ongoing expenses for the project — please do not feel pressured to buy. If you do purchase any photo products, many thanks.
Please note that my photographic style tends to be a blend of photojournalism and illustration. Some photos demonstrate that blend more than others.
Spread the Word
I’d appreciate it if you would let others know about 912Photos.com. I hope to continue documenting future events in which Americans exercise their First Amendment rights in the spirit of The 9•12 Project.
I look forward to covering more inspiring grassroots events in the future — and to personally meeting many great Americans along the way.
Thank you for visiting 912Photos.com.
All the best,
