Ahah !
My vote will be for the woman.

I just realized what today is! I suppose this was a "May Day" demonstration for workers, yes?

Yes ! That was the classic demonstration plus against extremism (particulary since 2002) and a bit against one of the candidate of the next election who has some crazy ideas (my opinion).

vote left!

I don´t speak french, but even so...

I agree with you but my point here wasn't to make a "political" clip. It was more a "what I'm feeling during this" sort of clip. It's one of my "objectiv" to make "political" clips but I haven't for the moment the ability (not enough self confident plus a bit timid => I don't interact with people when I'm making my shots. But I'm learning time after time, at least, that's my impression). Thanks for your comments ! I appreciate.

oh, i totally understand that!
i´m very timid as well! haha

i agree, and "les dechires" was not political too.

You're not so timid, when I see your "brief messages".

I'm also quite timid, but every once in a while I break out of my shell and talk to strangers and it's very rewarding. :) I like that this isn't a political clip... I think it's great the way it is. It's very peaceful but sad, and also hopeful at times. I think you did a wonderful job capturing the inside feelings rather than just the outside demonstration!

I still think this IS a political clip. Even if it wasn´t your intention to make one.

I'm not..timid. I think its imperative we talk and act against the growing fascism that surronds us....its not actvism its desparation.

France would seem to be one of the last bastions, of liberty, fraternity and more importantly action. But this kind of thinking is below ten percent of any given population. I talk to the converted all the time, trying to reach the other percentage of the population is the task....

I try but I mostly fail, as the position of polotics in our world is such a monstrous fraud as to be highly unbeliveable. Self censorship is the default action...break through that ,illustrate where the real power lies, illuminate the new world order for the facist manifesto it is and maybe we might have a chance.

I live here in the U.K. comfortably, largely on the taxes raised from Arms deals, which are brookered to create anarchy and despotism, to which we as western nations step in to and regain peace....and underneath imperrilistic power for the minnings concerns the debt mongers and the people be dammed. I am under no illusion that the peace I have here, is due to war devestation and economic slavery elsewhere..hows your peace derived?..

Banks lend money to both sides, to buy weapons to wage war....political ideals social health, are not the aim, war be under no illusion is to create debt. In americas version 600 billion of it? Who wins in this scenario....the Banks...debt is slavery period. your peace and economic prosperity is a product of economic and social slavery.

I have only one answer...look for your selves and tell others of what you find. Don't take my word for it...because this is prpoganda by any other word. Everytime I start this off, I run the risk of turning most people off...but maybe one more person will start to see...that's why I do it, thats what I'm srtuggiling for.

Sorry but start talk of this nature and I will try to educate..

ace

ah succinct and too the point...

Thanks ! I think that journalist have a responsability in making the demonstration less legit. I mean, it depends of course of the reason of the demonstration at first but sometime, they just cut people or don't ask the real question because they have to make a report of 1 min, 1,5.

this is journalism and labor issues made sexy.

No easy trick.

Doesn't he?? I want to be like him as well!

Ahah !

moi aussi

Renouveau, ca me rappelle les mots de Fabius ou DSK, je sais plus. Enfin bon, le truc c'est que il y avait moins de mondes que ces dernieres annees. J'espere que les gens sont pas desesperes au point de pas aller voter. (bien entendu, je ne m'interesse qu'aux electeurs d'un cote, de l'autre, s'il pouvait ne pas aller voter, ca serait top)

Really great point, Ed. I grew up being one of the ignorant kids who didn't follow politics because I thought it was a bunch of nonsense and I simply couldn't trust politicians or the system. I've changed a bit now, maybe become a tad bit wiser and I feel like it's important to know what's going on. I finally saw the light that you mention - have faith in ideas, not people. That's the trick! :) It makes a world of difference.

yeah, and as you get older sometimes your beliefs change, often because of the "rule of unexpected consequences" that a seemingly good idea brings about.

I'm really interested to know what problems you see we (in France) have that you (in the USA) 're beginning to have.

Remyyy, I recently (before the election) read a very interesting article in an opinion journal regarding this. I'll summarize it with my thoughts and send you a message rather then mess up your video comments. Probably sometime tomorrow.

Cool, thanks !

Merci!

That's a real compliment, thanks a lot !
