Stop Killing Children, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

In the midle of London...

You may ask what we can do about this. I mean, how can we as private citizens possibly prevent this from happening again? God, I wish I had the answer. I wish I could say, "Just do this and it will never happen again." But you and I both know that isn't going to happen. No matter how we sit in the comfort of our homes and wish this wouldn't happen to anyone, as long as we don't take a stand... the abuse will continue. The abductions will continue. Children will be taken from the comfort of their homes. Children will be mercilessly killed by sick, sick people.

The manif that you can see on the image sensibilized me a lot. And you?

3 people you see on the photo have no relation with manif...they are waiting for a taxi.

Olб Carlos. Penso que estiveste longe do TE durante um certo tempo. Uma imagem com uma mensagem forte e simbуlica. A passagem a bicromia estб bem feita mas ficou um pouco escuro demais (perde-se o detalhe nas folhagens).

Ola Carlos

I like the superb tonal range, in this wonderful b&w. The yellow sepia tone gives a feeling of age. Impressive sharpness. Obrigado & parabens

Bonjour Carlos,
La seule chose qui vaille la peine d'кtre volйe, c'est un baiser а un enfant endormi.

A picture with a message. Unfortunately it is also showing the indifference in the world, indifference symbolized by the three personages waiting for the taxi and turning their back to the harsh reality. Black and white works exctremely well here. Congratulations.
