Artist's Comments

The final version of an antiwar rally picture I took on 1-26-03 in Pittsburgh. Added a litle sepia to the black & white and gave it a better border. Had it up before but took it down because of the "let's bomb them all" comment someone left. I don't mind if you judge the picture on it's merits. I don't care if you agree or disagree with a possible war with Iraq. Fell free to comment if you feel either way about it. But keep it civil. What I won't tolerate is someone using my photography to promote their racism and hate.

:iconlunatictheory:
Nice job coloring this image. Makes the flag really stand out among the crowd. I'm not going to go into a big long anti-war/pro-war discussion, just commenting on the image is fine. Nice work. =D (Big Grin)

"To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow … the coup de grâce for the painter as well as for the picture."PICASSO

thank you for this.
I could go off on a rant.. a HUGE rant, but I'll just say that a 'what if' situation does not warrant a fucking war.

The fact that the US troops are already in/surrounding Iraq without the support of the UN and the fact that they have said they will go ahead no matter what the UN says... well guess what boys and girls.. that makes them fucking terrorists themselves.

and why does everyone still think that 9/11 justifies these actions?? That was terrorists in AFGANISTAN, remember?? News today is nothing but hate propoganda and it makes me sick.

'for the freedom of the Iraqi people' I am so sick of hearing the US's warlord Bush say that. They are going to blanket the country w/missles and ground troops for 'for the freedom of the Iraqi people' BAH

whoops I started ranting, sorry.
the photo is beautiful, powerful and meaninful and damn, I want one of those flags, so true :( (Sad)
:iconpsychofurryewok:
It's a good picture, even though I support the war. Nice job.

chaoticparadox, you know quite well that Saddam Hussein has done nothing for the freedom of "his" people. We are their only hope.

Nicely composed picture, especially since it shows the protestors' "true colors," so to speak. As far as I'm concerned, they're ALL wrong, but people who object to war on moral grounds are rare, leaving Chomsky's far more insane lackeys to take the stage.

If you don't like these words, bite your lip next time and the focus will remain on the art itself.

You wanted easy answers. You want a tidy end. Don't you know you've got a lot to answer for? You wanted shining heroes. You wanted sparkling knights. But they're gone. You chose your grave. Lie there... Lie there... lie there...
