4th June 99' - Juen4 Demonstration of Vancouver.
It is not a pleasant thing to do. Having the deepest and saddest emotion in every year, I could not feel any worse than this. This year, we have the typical rain in Vancouver too. I took pictures in the rain, feel the atmosphere, observe the situation… suddenly, I find out the image of our society in the event: Those who have a firm believing, those who make a living (such as reporters), and those who know nothing (such as children). Yes, that's Vancouver. All kind of people stay with all kind of reasons. Anyway, that's June4 99', the 10th of June4 89'……

1. Firm --- June4 99' a (65.6k) (*) She hold up her "V" to every car on Granville St. Her eyes show her firm believing to the truth. Who say that we will forget June4 someday? |
2. Media --- June4 99' b (66.9k)For the local media, June4 is not as important as the fishing problem with the States. All they care is some scenes, some people that can fit their mental picture. Is it the same as what the CNN did at Tiananman 89' ??? News needs the media, or the media needs news??? |

3. Demonstration --- June4 99' h (60.4k) It's not like HK, we don't have enough people to make the police to close the road for us. That's right, people holding umbrellas and tight up together. Still, we'll go on, until June4 is redressed. |
4. Child 1 --- June4 99' c (62.1k) This is the first picture of the "Child" series. She just keeps on looking at the candle. No wonder that she's attracted by the light, but not the words on the cap of the candle. Does the next generation really care about June4? |
|
5. Child 2 --- June4 99' d (62.4k) The sign should be heavy for you to hold…I think. Fortunately it's written in English, which is easier to understand than Chinese, is it? |
6. Child 3 --- June4 99' e (57.7k) Just a note here: He's looking to a girl in front of him, not to the people who's talking on the stage. |
|
7. Child 4 --- June4 99' f (56.3k) Another notes here: She's just looking to the boy behind her (see Child 3), nothing about the adults who work their ass off around her… |
8. Child 5 --- June4 99' g (62.0k) In front of the sign of "Redress June4" (in Chinese), she look blankly into the sky for the whole night. It has no meaning for her action, I believe. I guess, this is too hard to understand, and too far to reach too. There's always funny to contrast her facial expression to the microphone in front of her, and to the one who shouting at behind. |
P.S. This is the first time I work in heavy rain for prolong period. All my gears are under the toughest punishment under rain. Although my cameras were covered by plastic bag (and I put on the rain cover on my S&F bag too.) All equipment get wet at the end of day. The rain cover of S&F is not strong enough to shield out the rain. I hope it just because I didn't put on the big one (I just put on the top part of it.) anyway, it's a good lesson for me. Luckily, my equipments are fine at the end. Next time, I think it's better use my FM2…as the reporter of Ming Pao did at that day….^_^

March 99' Cherry(Sakura) Boom of Vancouver.
(It's not ended yet, so more pictures are coming.)Q: The depth of view of the pictures is not quite right. I think I should use smaller aperture to generate more depth of view. However, I don't want to use a very small aperture, such as f16, that may make everything in focus. Can anyone share his or her tips on this topic? (To show the details, all pictures of this section will take a little longer to load, thanks for your patient.)
