v_s8 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I thought I will share a few pics from yesterday protest in New York City April 10, 2006. Crowd was estimated between 75,000 & 125,000. It was very peaceful. <p>More in my <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=565705"> folder here</a>.<p><br><br><br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/4325463-lg.jpg"><p><br><br><br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/4325459-lg.jpg"><p><br><br><br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/4325385-lg.jpg"><p><br><br><br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/4325384-lg.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think these are great. I love your focus which to me seems you have really shown the human faces of these people, and what nicely done faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael j hoffman Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 All images are very good. A couple are really very nice. This is by far my favorite: http://www.photo.net/photo/4325357 With this as a distant second: http://www.photo.net/photo/4325355 Michael J Hoffman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_s8 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 thanks!! the light was harsh so i tried to expose for highlights, get close and keep my lens down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_lo_..._t_o Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Wonderful set. For me the little girl with the flag is the most compelling . Some of the scans in the linked folder seem a mite dark, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_s8 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 yep, they are dark. with the exception of the first one, which is grossly under, I wanted them dark -- it takes care of the mess in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I like <a href="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/4325449-lg.jpg">this capture</a>, the most. Great expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Yeah, exposing for the highlights did the trick because it puts the attention on the faces which are so cool. I like the exposures and the way it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Es Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 These are moving and meaningful photographs, v.s. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.brennan Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks for sharing these. Very nice work. As others have mentioned, I really like how you capture the individual expressions of these people participating in this protest. Rather than diffusing the focus within the streets or crowds (which seems so typical of protest/event photos), you tightly capture each invidual within the context of the event - which seems to me to make for sensitive and compelling photography. I've always liked your NYC work, and these add richness to that work. Finally (and sorry to take away from the discussion of the work!), but do you mind my asking what film and scanner? Thanks.

fjords Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 When I saw the NY Times (starbucks verson:) I thought it was flag day. vs, thanks for the real story. In it's small part, is a great contribution towards a compassionate resolution of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
