My attempt at photojournalism.

After wandering around London, I came upon many protests. There were protests against the war and for the war, against the UKs involvement in Lybia and for the involvement, ect. There are a number of things that were protested and a number of ways that these protests were... protested.

This is my attempt at capturing that protest.

During spring break I came by a lot of these protests. While I did manage to capture a few images, there were a few shots that I was unable to get. One that stands out is this lady, along with two other woman, as the three of them stood holding their signs they stared out straight, and strong. They had determined and powerful gazes that were quite striking. I tried to capture it, but couldn't. That's an image that has stuck in my mind. I was capturing photos with my 50mm fixed lens. I would have liked to have captured this image with either that lens or with a wide angle lens. I like that the aperture would be low around 1.8. If I took it with a film camera I would have liked to have had a grainy texture and quality to the image.
