Amnesty International in Sydney

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 30 July 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I'm interupting the series from the north of Australia to post this. I was on my way home today, walking through the city centre, when I came across this in Martin Place, which is where my last series of street photos ended.

See this photo much larger with the other six I shot that day. The series starts here:

I would like to keep in touch with members of the aminus3 community.

Nice shot, well rendered in bw. I like the message the picture conveys. Nice one.

What makes this shot in my opinion is the varied expressions on the people's faces and the repeating pattern of the posters in the background! Nice shot.

Hahha... you were in Martin place today, wow. I'm heading up that end of town tomorrow for lunch with a friend, I wonder if they will still be there. There's always great light in Martin Place isn't there...maybe it bounces off the buildings?. I like the light in this b&w, lovely tone and composition Andrew!

@Kylie Greenan: Hi Kylie. I took this yesterday, and went past there again today and they're still there, so I suppose they'll be there for you tomorrow. Have a nice lunch.

Thanks for the photos, I was there on that day. Maybe you saw the blue flags there. Please join Amnesty's activities and please support the Tibetans and the Uyghurs.

Freedom for Tibet and East Turkistan!

Nice b&w shot! The expressions are great. There's a little extra space on the right in my opinion. Was it possible to turn a little left, or was there any distracting objects?

@Behrooz Sangani: Glad you like it, Behrooz. I'm happy to have your opinion on the framing, but for me, the poster on the extreme right was particularly important.
