 THis was taken on the recent London GTG, he is a peace activist who is currently camped out in front of the House of Parliament. He has been a peace activist for 7 years. His name is "The Ant", which is his officially recognised name. I really wanted to take a picture of his friend, but he was a bit mental and went a bit mad at me when I asked him as SaraR will testify to.

Come on! They're "PEACE" activists for crying out loud - what's to be afraid of?? ;-)

There is almost a sense of irony here. The b&w make this a very foreboding shot. It seems like it is a war zone instead of a peace rally. I like that, though.

Powerful photo...the model placed against this background and the use of BW make this work...

Oh my, he looks quite the opposite, like an anarchist. It's probably the apparent disorderly background that is influencing my optimism.
