Overbearing Authority



I was talking with my sister about her summer plans earlier this evening at dinner about her summer job at the US embassy in France, I decided to look at some french photography/journalism, to try and catch a glimpse of what is happening in the world of photography in France. I opened the link to" Photo.Fr" and this photo immediately caught my attention

I clicked on the link and I could not understand a damn word, I got my sister to translate and tell me what was going on in this photo. Evidently, the protestor being attacked by the riot police, took place in Quebec, the French speaking part of Canada, and where my sister happens to study.

I also stumbled upon this seemingly disturbing image on the page:


A very interesting and intriguing photo... yet I'm still not sure what to make of it

    I ran the photo.fr blog text through a translator and found that the first image is about anti-riot police in Quebec charging a peaceful protester sitting in a park. The second photo is about homeless people living in the historic center of Mexico City.
