While definately polite and a good thing to do if possible you do not need to ask permission to shoot and publish shots like this due to their editorial nature... you are documenting an event and these images are not being used to endorse a product or a point of view..

pedantics aside... some great shots there! Well done! definately a "movement" happening there :D

They ended up protesting again today outside of the town hall but I was photographing the Adelaide Classic Rally in the southern hills...there were some interesting people representing a huge cross section of society. They were united in their feeling of the unjust war and how our political representatives were acting like puppets..
Whilst I was there, I was fortunate enought to run into a few photo journos who had been embedded in Iraq. Their stories need to be told!!!

Its funny how one Race can run the world.That is monetary wise and also military wise and also country wise. IE:The US. Not withstanding!
Im not trying to be politically incorrect but think about it.

I like the last photo, it captures the spirit well. I think a little fill to brighten up the people would help as well.
I got caught in the middle of Victoria Square/Grote St yesterday when the cavalcade of secret service, police & rummy stopped traffic and drove by at 80km/h. Quite surreal to see in Adelaide.. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me.

It sicken me that Rumsfeld will not supply decent armored vehicles to his troops in Bagdad, the most dangerous city in the world, but he has his own personal armored motorcade flown into Adelaide to protect himself!


The man is a coward.


I do not support the war in Iraq but I do support the poor bloody troops risking their lives for this creeps money and glory.

Rant over


cheers doug

Oop's I forgot Nice shots :D

Chris,
He's also in the loop!
This trip of Rumsfeld to Australia is to seek the way of substitution our Aussie's blood for the Yanks in heavy casualties with their b...shit war on terror, and our Johnny signed a blank cheque for them long ago!

Now, In what we trust????????????????????
