lockdown at 14th street and pennsylvania avenue Lockdown Stops Traffic

This is a good street photo. The corner to corner diagonal composition and the position of the SUV trying to get through make for a strong image that effectively tells the story. I would change the title though. Maybe "People with Nothing Better To Do" or "Dummies Stop Traffic" :-)

This is the best picture I've seen of the multitude of peace rallies. As the others have pointed out the composition is strong with all the pieces falling right into place.

 

Grady - while I agree that classifying these people as dumb is a bit of a generalization, I wonder if they would prefer to live in a society where they would be executed for such public displays of dissidence? If not, I wonder why they feel that those that do live in such societies don't deserve to be liberated? Ok... off my soap box...

It's interesting....a local high school was planning a big "Peace Rally" for last Wednesday afternoon. Hundreds of student had signed up. The school, figuring that no one was going to show up for class anyway, ended classes at noon so the hundreds of students could attend the rally. Once the kids got wind of classes being cancelled, a whole 24 of them showed up for the rally. So much for dedication to the cause. I guess is wasn't that important to them after all.

 

For another good protest image, look here...

going to make that link into a hot link. Its a very powerfull photo. Resistance

I like the photo journalistic aspect of this photo. There is also some nice symmetery that makes it a more interesting photo from a compositional point of view.

I'd change the title to "Get a job like the rest of us" or "please don't stop our customers from getting to us, we have children to feed, mortgages and bills to pay...". I hope the person in the SUV didn't lose their job or have their pay docked for being late to work. A wise man once said "think three times, then act once". It's always good to think about who will really be effected by our actions. You're shots are always great!
