Students

Posted by Carol (Istanbul, Turkey) on 28 January 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Shades of '68. The demo was very much a call for democracy.
Many students came. I met one who'd travelled 24 hours from Van in the East of Turkey to be there.

Great capture Carol. Love the way you caught the expression on the Angry Young Man's face. Excellent tonal values. :)

Carol - I was in college in 1968 and remember the Vietnam War protests and this is it all over again! Great capture!

@Jerry: I remember '68 too (just :), and I hate that we have to keep doing this. But great to see the recent anti-war protests in the Sates.

Thanks to everyone for your encouraging comments.

@j. coleman miller: And isn't that the shame of it - that we have to keep fighting!

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

An excellent piece of photo-journalism. Your style compliments the material very well, there are definitley shades of '68 here - your right, it's a shame we have to keep fighting
