Thanks, Aaron!
This was Xmas eve on the picket line.
You've hit the nail on the head relatively accurately. I've shot the
lockout for the unions and publications. I kept telling them they
needed better shots than just angry workers with fists in the air.
But most communications people and editors are just, well morons,
when it comes to any pedagogic subtext that a simple image can have.
Initially, the UFCW thought the series too 'soft'. Now they have four
20x24 prints in the international presidents office in DC.

I really enjoyed these photos. The combined effects of using color
film and the 50mm wide open was an arresting departure from the by-
now hopelessly hackneyed ultra-sharp, ultra-grainy, B&W photo of
labor demonstrators. Whereas to me the more "traditional" PJ-style
seems exploitative in its reinforcement of the middle-class
stereotype of union workers, Slobodan's technique admirably
underlined their individual and essential humanity.

The intent was to get deep inside their comfort zone. And, to see

gone on to an 80mm f1.8, but no shots yet with that lens.
