Protest Rally

Sam

Last Sunday as I was running some errands, and saw a fairly large demonstration taking place. Since it was only about a mile from my house I drove home, and picked up my camera, and went back.

I tried to capture the people, and emotions. I will post seven images.

This was a group of about 300 to 400 Palestinians protesting the events in Gaza.

Please note this post is not a political statement of any kind. This is a photojournalist post only, about photography.

I guess one cannot help but think about the political.

but these are very emotional folks, culture and bring a certain ache to the hearts of those who care~

poignant!

WOW Sam! The captures are great. It is too bad that things are "black" & "white" and if you believe in one colour you can't understand the other. It is a shame, but I don't know that humans can bridge that gap....too bad.

These are great photos. They really convey the emotions being felt. Thanks for posting them.

From a political aspect they are great photos as well. These people are actually showing what a great country the U.S. is. Most of these people probably chose to come here for the freedoms America offers..including the freedom to protest against the country they chose to live in.
