Peace Rally and March ~ Portland, Oregon ~ 16 November, 2002

            A short note on my choice of image presentation: I worked in B&W print labs in LA and Orange Counties, California, before I returned to school to take up software engineering.  The highest photographic standard amongst us Lab Rats was when a photographer used the entire frame and we could print an image to "show black", that is, to show a thin line around the image that was the edge of the frame.  Yes, I know I've included more information than just a very thin line around the outside of these images, but that's my current personal choice.

With these begins a rather large image project that looks back in time at some local history.  The project is my documentation of a series of Peace Rally's and Peace Marches that took place in Portland, Oregon during the years that Baby-Bush was President.

Anyone who'd read the UN report on Iraq weapons inspection knew there were no "weapons of mass-destruction."  People knew there was no connection between the events of 9/11 and Saddam Hussein.  So folks were a little grumpy and took to the streets to voice and show their discontent at being lied to.

Somehow I've saved the negatives and thought it would be interesting to share the path I followed from timidity through to something a bit more engaging and mature.  These early images clearly show my timidity.  Living in ultra-conservative Washington County I'd heard these kinds of events could turn violent.  It took time and experience to realize how wrong that was.

For this event I used a Rolleiflex 2.8 E (with Schneider Xenotar) twin lens reflex and Kodak TMax400 120 film that was souped in Kodak D76 (my favorite developer).
