Artist's Comments

This was taken at the Stop Bush Rally/Apec Protest/etc. on the 8th of September, 2007.

I wanted to capture the anarchist vs. authoritarian concept in this photograph but it was hard to isolate the tall mohawkman. Also, I regret not using a narrower aperture 'cause the shallow dof rendered the police on the left to little blurs.
edit: after reading through the comments, I realise that a narrower aperture would have brought the entire background into focus, thus ruining the portrait effect.

DD EDIT:
What can I say! I never thought I'd ever be DD'd - and to actually be proven wrong is a great suprise~

Thank you to =fIRebUgs and ^Obsidian-Fox for DDing me and to =IBinsanity for his random kindness in buying me a subscription.

Also, thank you to all of you who looked through, fav'd and commented. You guys have all made m week.

I have five photos uploaded from APEC, and they were all shot on the same roll of b&w, which in fact was my first ever time using b&w film. I think the other four are also worth a look.

Thank you and I'll keep more photos coming, though I think I've reached my peak at 16; it's all down-hill from here. =P
Peace~ =D

Daily Deviationapec 4 - anarchy by ~bearscanbemean - I love the cop in the background. Caught in the depth of field he is a stark contrast to bearscanbemean's subject. A lot of people say you can't tell much about a person looking at them from behind... This photo begs to differ. (Suggested by =fIRebUgs and Featured by ^Obsidian-Fox)
