k9Mom,
Sorry but your tactics do not work with intelligent people. The article makes a valid point about media in general promoting a point of view and you are the lucky one to provide such a vivid example. The thinking people of the world thank you. This was a great article as I likewise took some photographs at a Tea Party and found many of them to be too sign oriented without the benefit of faces. I definitely learned that you have to move around more than I did.

Absurd! Looks like a Walt Disney Prod. demo.
Shooting like a photojournalist?
Be more serious

Thanks for this post! I’ve been reading up a couple of blogs, articles and books about photojournalism and all have been very helpful!

@bf6: I think it has *nothing* to do with this

I’ve learned a lot from this post. I’ve made a research on my city. I found one event that looks very interesting: it’s about people against bull fighting (I’m also against…) and the timing is perfect: bull fights are very famous here in Seville (known as the “Feria de Abril”)

I hope I get some good pictures and I’ll post the link for them here

Saludos y gracias

@chas: Great point about K9Mom’s post. Never fails to amaze me how some feel it is both appropriate and their duty to insert their political opinion into a conversation that has little or nothing to do with politics…

BTW – great article!

Great post, it would be awesome if the media approached their job with the same fairness as you. Thanks

@K9Mom: Unfortunately on a blog geared towards photography, you are trying to make this about politics. The link you provided shows pictures compiled from every tea party event held in an entire nation and clumps them together as if that was their main message.

As I stated above “In most situations, there will be outliers or images that may be dramatic but miss the larger picture (no pun intended) or meaning of the event.” Thank you for proving my point that people have trouble separating their agendas from their journalism.

A little off-topic maybe, but are these people for real?
And why are little children protesting on economical issues?
Man, just when you think you’ve seen it all…
