On Strike


	On Strike Walking the picket lines on strike was a common mode of change in the mid to late 20th century in the US. This B&W image was shot with Plus-X film from the Colfax viaduct in Denver, Colorado. Camera was a Heiland Pentax SLR. Murry Grigsby

Marvelous presentation and capture, Murry, the b&w accents the severity and reality of strikes, whether one believes in them or not. Very well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan

Thanks Allan, Donna and Bill! When I was young I use to prowl the streets of Denver and shot lots of B&W. Now I shoot pretty color shots when it's convenient. :0)
