Power in the Darkness II Photo

Photographer’s Note

For an explaination of the title, see yesterday's posting. Another from the 'Rock Against Racism' event back in '78, this of the march which preceded the Rockwell Park festival. I think this was Victoria, from a pedestrian bridge.

An excellent photojournalistic shot of this demonstration against racism. Good tonal range & pov.

Interesting to look at these photos. So much has changed in the last 26 years (esp cars) and yet so little (attitudes). Can't help thinking about the massive anti-Iraq war demo of last year.

I'm sure I'm in this one Richard but I can't see my ANL T-shirt so you must have just missed me!
Evokes great memories of a less apathetic past.
Good shot for my 1st critique for a while.

You captured a great moment here, Richard. I especially like the cars of the left - they really date the photo. Well seen and framed.
