Thanks John. I saw the image forming and new it was good when I took it. Do you think the deep DOF works here, or should I have went with a shallow DOF and focused on the kid? Or maybe focused on the artist? Of course to get a decent street shot, things happen so fast, I often do not get to ponder such things until I am home.

I think having the deeper depth works best for this. I like being able to see the expressions of both.

Hi Folks,
I went to that rally and it was pretty nuts. One of the nuttiest I have been to. I won't bore you with a flood of them all at once....

K20D sigma 10-20
Los Angeles city hall is the tall building in the back ground

The white guy on the left was telling the black guy how much he loved him in spite of how much the black guy was cursing him. And that is that the NAZI's where not even here yet.

This was early in the afternoon when it was quiet. People making signs.

The police where in force getting ready for the things to come...

 

[javier]

I for the life of me, can't understand why people feel the need to wear masks.

Of course the protesters where out.

 

[javier]

A beauty that was there. Looked like the press

Passion

Making noise

The token brown beret

All people where represented

Even the celebs where out.

I should have mentioned that the neo nazi kkk rally I went to was this one.
White supremacist rally ends with five arrests and two assaults, police say [Updated] | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times

I will post up some images of the nazi beat downs as soon as I go through them.
By the way, the photo in the news article is fantastic. Brilliant!
Kudos to the tog who made it.

This crazy fool shouted ''WHITE POWER'' at a nazi / anti nazi rally on Saturday and well, this is what he got for his troubles.

Just wait. Thing's are going to get lots more interesting as our society becomes more polarized.

I could not agree more. With what is going on in Washington with corruption Like I have never seen in my lifetime, we have seen nothing.
