Huelga General 29-M 006

Clashing photo-journalistic styles....

As for this series of photos taken at the crossroads of life found at the intersection of hostility & peaceful demonstration here in Barcelona. I witnessed plenty of history in the making at that very moment. BTW, I got hit by rubber bullets, threatened by an anarchist only because he happen to be in the way of my P.O.V. got choked up by tear gas, which is not the greatest tasting substance or really good on the eyes, that is for certain. So much more happened that I can´t even recall all of those moments yet somehow we all survived the chaos & pandemonium. I am not certain or even sure if any of it really meant a damn in the end as far as good governance goes.

    Thanks Ken...It runs in my veins to get in the way in order to capture interesting moments...I also a very good sixth sense & know when things are getting to explosive & to get a move on out of the way but one never knows in these kinds of circumstances.

    Good street documentary series. You really put yourself in the middle of the action and took chances to get your images.
