As a graphic designer I can tell you I love how you captured a lost but effective design like this on the wall. Overall, It's not just the composition I like but darkness it shows and portrays exactly what my mind would see if I were to want to photograph the same thing. You can definatly see the historic appeal in this photo, and would like to see what it looks like in black and white.

very nice shot. great depiction of a worn but historic area. i wish the person in the doorway was a little more prominent. and watch your DOF towards the top - doesn't really bother me but noticed it gets blurred. nice work, Mike. (c:,'

Maybe using the word aesthetic was a bad choice. I have no problem with the picture itself and I agree that it fits perfectly in the Journalism category. I just felt that the tone of the "about" section was a little antagonistic. Maybe I am a little touchy. Emotions run high on both sides of this debate. I totally agree with all your comments about the strong points of this photo but I took the title to mean "equal time" of exposure on this site. I agree also that every story on this war has its point of view and maybe that is my problem with it. Journalism presents you with the facts and assumes you are intelligent enough to come to your own conclusions. I think your photo would be stronger with less explaination. Your photo tells the whole story. Why diminish the impact with words?

Beyond being just a photo of something that happened, this does have a nice look to it and good composition. What is neat is how the guy is turning around looking at the camera and everyone else is looking other directions. Take away what it says on the sign if you think it is a comment on whatever and just look at the overall photo. The overall photo is a good one and that is what this site is about. I think Smoky's comments simply showed that he is making this more about political views instead of a good photo -- you read what you want to into a photo, i guess, but this one is a good one -- regardless of what the poster says. Personally, I'm marking this is a favorite because I like the composition here and the unique capture.

Though this does convey a view (which I happen to agree with). It has alot of emotion. I think it shows more emotion than most os the protest images I have viewed. Thanks for posting this shot.

I?d like to respectfully disagree with you, Smoky. There are certainly legitimate purposes for photography other than aesthetics ? use of image making to sell a product, tell a story or express a point of view for instance. After all, I posted this photograph in the Journalism category, not Photoart.
This protest was organized in response to the anti-war protests, hence the title. The information included is there to complete the story ? this was not a rally of right wing Republicans. The difference of opinion in the US over this war does not fall along political lines.
If I had simply reproduced one of the statements shown on the posters and uploaded it to simply state that opinion you?d certainly have a reason to criticize my misuse of this site, but this is a photograph of an event posted in the Journalism category. Look at the all of print and television images and stories on this subject ? each and every one comes with its point of view.

Your title and comments makes me think the motivation for posting this is more than aesthetic reasons. There are plenty of websites out there to express your political views. I realize there are probably a few others posted for the anti-war side. They could follow the same advice.

Verna & Ricky-
I'd like to see one of my pictures hanging on that wall too - this image was taken in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts!! : ) It would be funny to hang a print of this image there - kind of a picture in picture thing.

Been looking at your work Mike and this one leapt out at me. I like the idea of one of your pictures framed on the wall - a strong B&W image would be a good contrast to the orange wall. Or alternatively take a photo from the top of the stairs looking down and make a mirror to hang on the wall....

Interesting shot but I think the better one is closer to the trailer and get some of the texture in the rust.

Watch those stereotypes, Heather! ;^) You jumped from Insurance to ?Salesman? ? he?s a Claims Executive and a very nice guy? this is no illusion, just him (though I did capture his personality well, if I do say so myself).

Here we have "Nothing but Something" that is going on here....(suggestion) would be to add one of your photos as framed art in the center of the wall at the top of the stairs...then we would really have something ..... good job!

Nice stairs Mike. It reminds me of a pair of arms with hands opend up to the sky. Try to bring your hands that way you will see what I mean. Good symmetry creating a formal lcomposition.
