Huelga General 29-M 004

Out of the west come´s another sharp shooter...

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.

    Actually some demonstrators set off fire works during the early part of protest the tear gas was a little later on. Not pleasant stuff I still think I prefer the loud noise of fireworks to tear gas, thanks.

    I like how you used the smoke, or was it tear gas to capture the other photographer. Well done !
