I got my painters mask just in case I need to do any renovations

Good sir... Mask up. Can't protest if your lungs are burning for days.

Edit: There's actually some guides on how to protest safely and correctly. Here's a good link from Wired about a baseline level of protection. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-protest-safely-gear-tips/

And find one written for your city/state, by a organization that you respect.

Dude looks like he was there in the 60's, standing in the middle of tear-gas canisters, ripping a huge bong.

Leather lungs.

No stopping this unit.

When/where was this taken?

I understand why No Kings encourages using the US flag, but it does make random pictures harder to k ow the context of

I hope this dude don’t have asthma cuz that amount of teargas with no mask can be deadlyz

[-] [email protected] 28 points 18 hours ago

That picture is incredible

The apathy and avarice is astounding.

[-] [email protected] 53 points 22 hours ago

Is this OC? It's a brilliant shot

[-] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

I'm thinking not. Having had my fair share of tear gas, it's not fun. Even a block away it'll warm up your face because it's just in the air. The masks are literally just got breathing and seeing, but it's still very uncomfortable up close.

As mentioned in comments below, it’s a Chicago Tribune photographer, Stacey Wescott. Amazing photographer!

Incredible shot then. I go to the World Press Exhibition each year and this is the kind of image you see taking the awards. There's a ot of perfect timings all happening at once for it to work out.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I was 100% thinking that too! I saw it and immediately was like “wow, that looks like it will win a prize.”

Cool to hear you go to the press exhibition each year! You must see a lot of amazing photos there.

I’m an amateur photographer and mostly do insects.

Incredible timing, positioning, and framing. Also preparation I assume, being able to take the photo in that environment. Even the wind had to be right! Remarkable.

Not sure what you're trying to say tbh. What does that have to do with the author or quality of the pic?

And my apologies, but an error is disallowing me to edit the other reply.

"Shit" = "Shot"

[-] [email protected] -4 points 15 hours ago

I have doubts it's a "shot" based on the vibrant comp of the individual and their reaction to what's in their proximity. But most noteably, the image isn't 8:10 as the majority of cameras shoot. But it could be all real and, shit on a blad or something, and in that case it's a stunning example of photojournalism.

Unfortunately, these are the times we live in now. Editting, photomanip, and now AI are all just too easy

???

Many other formats exist and are extremely common (3:2, 1:1, 4:3...)

And more importantly, cropping is a thing.

While waving the American flag? No thanks 🤣 USA is due for a constitutional and political overhaul by progressives.
