Nicely captured, when was this taken? Do CND still march and campaign? Where you taking part in the march or just there photographing?

Taken at the 'Stop the War' demo back in '08.
I don't march much any more, I usually wait at the final destination, saves my old legs!

CND do still exist and celebrated their 50th anniversary back in '08.

This is a nice shot, the woman with the logo on her face. I want to photograph this sort of thing as well. I was going to go to the student demos last year. One because I wanted to protest but two because I felt it would be a good photo opportunity. Your demos look a little bit more tranquil :-)

Peple always seem to equate the word demonstration with violence. I suppose it's because on the odd occasion when violence occurs it gets the front page. 99+% of demos are peaceful. If you want to photograph violence, or the possibility of it, find out where the police will be,or are, ther's a good chance that's where the violence will occur!

There's violence and there's 'menace'.

Great images ABERS. You always seem to achieve a wonderful richness of tone in your B+W shots - whether through mastery of channels, levels and curves or by some more mysterious alchemy. Whatever, it is admirable work.
