715782 was my favorite one, would have liked more of an overall feeling for the event though from a single shot maybe.

Dull and obvious, these frames. Some advice: Get closer to your subjects. When you think you're too close, get closer still. Find your subject's anger, their energy.

Hi, Ken:

You do get close to your subjects.

My favorite photo is the nbr. 715789. Not particularly well done IMHO but the only one that conveys an easy to understand meaning: the oriental eye and the letters compose kind of an anti racism statement that has something to tell to anybody even if not aware of what this particular event is about. And also has a certain reportage-like look possibly coming from the rapid movement suggested by the general lack of sharpness and the overexposed face, as if caused by lack of time to do it any better before the moment was definitely gone by.

The other ones, IMHO, could be of better technical quality but not the same as eloquent.

Thanks for sharing, Ken.

Regards

Hi Ken, I like 715792 the best. The look on the face of the asian SFPD officer conveys a whimsy that would never appear on the face of a SFPD officer when I lived in THE CITY in the '70's. But I agree with the others that the shots are washed out. They need to be burned in more. Highlight detail is missing and there is not enough Dmax. From exposure, film development, and scanning to posting, there are too many variables to tell you how to improve. Keep at it, the reportage is important. I do not remember a SF protest reported in the news recently that I can relate your shots to. Regards, Doug
