Awesome set, very news-worthy! Particulary like the police car on fire

pcarfan · 06-27-2010, 10:05 AM

well done!

pete_pf · 06-27-2010, 09:43 PM

thanks guys

a couple from today

i'm convinced the cops today had the hots for me. a few were chatting while starring at me, then kept glaring at me. afterwards the video camera came out, apparently they wanted video of me so they could look at me whenever they wanted. i got video recorded lots.

Wonderful shots! I love the smirk on the officer on #5 and #2 reminds me of some dystopia like HL2.

how would you know who i am? lol i was watching when i got home yesterday and noticed someone who looked a hell like me around the burning cop, so it's possible you did see me

Forgive the pun, but I would have had an absolute blast taking shots of this.

Great shots man.

Wow, well done with these photos... Certainly looks like you got in the thick of the action!
Good work on taking hold of the opportunity.

Nice job documenting this Peter!

Hey Peter - very impressive. You look like a Pro for sure.

Nice work Peter.

Documentary quality was the phrase I was looking for. Has that Eddie Adams look about it to it for those who may remember the Vietnam era.

a few more and that'll be it, unless there's another protest :P

these were taken yesterday, demanding of a public inquiry into the actions the police took during the g20 riots.

xhanatos · 07-02-2010, 08:55 PM

finally, some decent shots in the gallery

thanks for documenting and sharing these!

Great photos - well done! Must have been something being in the midst of the melee.

For those of you in a rut - find an event or a happening and jump in; at the end of the day the subject is the most important thing.
