let me phrase this correctly....this is not a complaint...but rather a comment re: these and most photos that I've seen of the demo...artistically they're great...but politically they're not (tho these are better than most, in that regard).
I was there, and that crowd was huge, that crowd was massive. And the photos in both the mainline and alternative press are always of individuals...and never gives a picture of the sheer mass of humanity that was there. It's like being in a vast forest, and taking pictures only of individual trees....you never get a sense of the thousands and thousands (and thousands and thousands) of people who were there...from these and other pix's it could have been a demo of only a hundred...rather than the hundreds of thousands of people who were there.
Someone should go up on the planter, climb the light pole, go to the 2nd story and get the pixs that show the crowd as a whole, and capture how how massive the event really was...or it will never get recorded, and it will never be known....it's like the articles that say "more than a thousand at the demonstration"...not a lie..but not the truth.... Again, I'm talking about the politics, and not the art of these (and other) photos (they're great).
Politically, these and the other photo's that I've seen are not lies...but they don't capture the real size of the demonstration (and in that regard, they're not the truth).
