On Strike

Uploaded: October 24, 2004 08:01:04

Description

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.

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 #181574
