Women's March For Unity - Fort Worth, Texas - January 21, 2017
The day after the inauguration of Donald Trump, dozens of protest marches were held across the United States. There were also numerous unity marches and rallies around the world.
The organizers of this event were hoping for a crowd of a couple of thousand people. By the end of the march, the crowd was estimated at about 10,000.

4. A few Trump supporters were at the march. Many protesters flashed him the peace sign and several asked him to join the march. He told them to "fuck off".

Fine work and worthwhile. Thank you for you showing this.

A worthy documentation of a remarkable event.
-
True PJ style and fine photography, Rick.
-
Both qualities of images and selection together make this series special. Thanks for sharing, Rick!
-
Nice to see this series of images
-
Excellent job Rick. I like your way of juxtaposition -I´m quite sure that´s the word I´m looking for- You presented many sides and emotions.
-
I want to thank everyone who took the time to view the images and for leaving comments.
-
Very clean looking, deviating from your usual style a bit,,,
Very high quality PJ street series!
-
A good event to document
And fine that you did the series in Black&White Rick.
-
Stunning work as usual ...the images seem to have a little extra tonal smoothness which looks nice.
Thank you for sharing here!
Cheers
-
Good, honest event and documentation Rick. Thanks for this - most appreciated.
-
Excellent documentary series, Rick. With #5 and #7 as my favourites (the expression of the faces).

All political commentary has been placed here: http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,5334.0.html

You should have kept this thread closed. The pictures have modest documentary or pictural quality, anyway, and by next week, everybody would have forgotten about this. By attempting to sanitize everything, you are making it only worse.

We volunteer to run this website and we do the best we can.
Christian, what exactly is the outcome which would please you? Where precisely do we draw the line? Can you make up an enforceable "rule" which works in every case?
And then -- why in the world has this topic upset you so much? Of the thousands of members here, we have had only 3 who want to complain about this thread*. Is it really necessary to do that? Can't you just walk away from what you do not like? There is so much here on NG to enjoy.
*...but more than that who have complained about the complainers. It gets very absurd.
If we move political posts to the Back Storage, we get complaints.
If we leave political posts in the thread, we get complaints.
Would you call this a no-win situation for NikonGear?
-
Now I'm very happy that this otherwise excellent thread is now cleaned up!
Nice job moderators and administrators!
-
Rick - excellent set of B&Ws
To those who do not like these or think they are "political" then post your set of photos that suit YOUR political thoughts!
These are just photos & should be judged as such.
If something "bothers you" to look at, then DON'T LOOK AT THEM
-
A newsworthy social documentary, Rick. Keep them coming and dont mind the people who want to gag your photography. It is only a proof that your pictures make an impact. Who the hell want to stay neutral all the time and what progress comes out of that?

Mongo repeats:-
"……….. One of our members contributes what Mongo thinks is an excellent set of photojournalist quality images capturing a particular event ………… Mongo thinks he has done a very fine job and glad he posted his photo work. ………"
-
excellent documentation - as most what I´ve seen from you - thank you Rick
something I like very much in your style is, that looking at the images, I can
imagine them "dotted" on front of a newspaper, as well as fine printed behind glass
-
I want to thank everyone for viewing the photos and leaving comments.
-
Rick,
Excellent work as usual. Your Documentary and PJ photography always resonates with me.
And kudos to Nikongear for permitting Political content. We who post here are very fortunate that freedom of expression is allowed.
This thread would have been deleted in Pico-seconds by the Moderators at Nikoncafe for example.

To be precise: on NG, there is no prohibition of posting what some would designate 'political' photos. However, what we will not allow is an off-topic discussion going into politics on any scale, local, national, or global. For the latter purposes, more appropriate sites exist.
