Uhh кто говорит по Руски? So Slaphead, any updates yet?

 

[Harmony]

I'm awaiting the pictures eagerly... if you post them in the photojournalism section, maybe you could reply to this thread to let us know?

 

[Slaphead]

OK here goes. Just remember I'm a noob and this was a bit scary.

11 is best

good job, I like the walk sign in #2.

 

[TamiyaGuy]

Wow, really good photos considering the circumstances. I really like #2, just the way you focused on the (to be blunt) cocky policeman holding his rubber-shotgun like you would a sniper rifle really makes me laugh. Also, #6, although blurred, is still really effective.

Might I just ask, though. You said in a previous post that you were "alive (just)" and "not in jail (just)". So what came your way that nearly caused those events to happen?

Great photos, and I can't wait for your story!

Wow! Great work! I wish we had real riots here in Washington DC. I think these shots as a set portray alot of emotion and show how the event unfolded. I think #6 is the best, and then #12. Keep it up.

I would also like to hear your story, seems interesting.

you are out of your mind

Thanks for all the positive comments. I'm drinking beer at the moment, It's Saturday evening after all - yes I know it's a bit sad that I've got my laptop with me. But again thanks. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow morning to tell the full story ;-)

Cheers

Don't worry, doing the same here ... well drinking wine

Awesome shots man! Definitely inspirational too. Makes me want to go shoot some protests and riots. There was actually one not long ago up in Seattle but I missed it, so it's a shame.

Anyway, great job, I can't wait to read the whole story.

To have real riots you need real freedom! You guys said goodbye to that when you let the patriot act be enacted...
Oh well, it once was the "land of the free"...

PS: I don't mean to be offending, just found the american government to be a little too quick on taking away some of the american people's freedom.

 

[Alex_B]

still, there is a difference between demonstrations (good to have that freedom), and riots (which I totally dislike since riot = violence)

 

[PushingTin]

why is there always a riot of 1st May?

Well done on capturing the moments, I think you did very well.
