I posted a few pictures from refugees camps in Honduras.
I would show here why they arrived in the camps.
No communist plot ,just farmers who wanted to work and live on their own ground.
80% of the country was property of 10% of population..
No AK47,no Kalalaschnikov or any weapons or armement like that and could explain so many bombs... and exactions.
Just farmers,very young people,with old guns.
Nothing to justify uncle Sam intervention.
All over the world,a feeling of justice and freedom is leading.

Nice shot. I like the guy at the end peering over all the other weapons. A nice piece of history here.

Great Job.

Hi Howe.
Anche questa bella foto e ottima nota. Forse non avevo capito il senso dell'altra foto ma ho capito questa. Hasta la victoria siempre.

Salut,

On ne peut pas imaginer de quoi s,agit la photo en regardant le 'tumbnail'. La surtprise est une autre photo de contenue forte et charge de significat. La lumiere sur les tetes et les fusil detache les guerriers du fond sombre. Le gars au fond me fait penser qui la photo etait prise dans un centre d'entrainement, car dans le chaud de l'action il serait tres fous d'etre si tranquilement dans la ligne de feux de l'enemi.

A+

Bon, en lisant ta réponse à Flavia, je comprends mieux la situation. Je suis impressionnée par ton cran. Je veux bien croire que tu sois curieux, mais encore faut-il avoir du courage... C'est une photo encore une fois qu'il m'est difficile de regarder. Mais, cela existe et vaut mieux ne pas toujours se mettre la tête dans le sable.
Parfois, j'ai tellement l'impression de ne rien comprendre à toute cette violence qui n'en fini plus de finir. Oui, se défendre. Parfois le prix est si élevé... Mais parfois, il le faut. Le désespoir tue peut-être plus que les armes, au bout du compte...
J'aurais peut-être aimé avoir le visage de cet homme, le "comandante". Et puis, je n'en suis pas si sûre...

I like in most of your pictures the intense atmosphere and the unusual situations you depict. This one too is very strong in its expression. It is well balanced, and I like the grainy quality.

This photo remindes me of Capa's work . The only thing is he would use a 20mm lens for this shot .
Still your photo is outstanding work specially coz was done in film . You got a really nice angle of the guns , really good shadows and a great mood !

Congratulations

Elvis
