Kill the Bill protests, Sheffield.
A young couple offer love and comfort to each other against a backdrop of protesters' sensible footwear. I like this photo, I feel that I have caught a moment of tenderness and also, it is as though the other protestors have formed a protective shield around them. I see this as an image of hope.
Rouen (France) Photo datant de 2019, lors d’une des nombreuses manifestations des Gilets Jaunes. Les forces du maintien de l’ordre organisent une souricière pour inciter les casseurs à s’engager dans les rues étroites du centre historique de Rouen. Ceux qui sont sur la photo sont là pour empêcher les manifestants de prendre la fuite par les rues adjacentes.
Quand j’ai vu cette femme au parapluie que les policier venait de laisser passer, je suis immédiatement monté sur un plot en béton pour prendre un peu de hauteur et avoir une meilleure lisibilité de l’ensemble de la scène. Scène qui me semblait incongrue après les violences auxquelles je venais d’assister.
Il est difficile de faire des images sortant de l’ordinaire dans les manifestations. Comme je faisais des photos pour le site internet de France 3, j’avais pour mission de faire des images qu’on ne retrouverait pas le lendemain dans la presse quotidienne. Plus facile à dire qu’à faire, mais comme je n’avais pas d’obligation de résultat, j’ai observé tout ce qui se passait autour de moi, sans aucune pression.
The art of passing between the drops
Rouen (France) Photo from 2019, during one of the Yellow Vests demonstrations. The law enforcement forces are organizing a mousetrap to encourage thugs to enter the narrow streets of the historic city center of Rouen. Those pictured are there to prevent demonstrators from fleeing through adjacent streets.
When I saw this woman with an umbrella that the police had just let pass, I immediately climbed on a concrete pad to gain a little height and have a better readability of the whole scene. A scene that seemed incongruous to me after the violence I had just witnessed.
It is difficult to make original images in the protests. As I was taking pictures for the France 3 website, my mission was to find scenes that we would not find the next day in the daily press. Easier said than done, but as I had no obligation of result, I observed everything that was happening around me, without any pressure
Except for South Koreans, few people will understand whom she's protesting against. Yoon Suk Yeol is the president of South Korea since 2022 and is taking a pro-west stance, talking with Japan, not negotiating with North Korea anymore. Beside this, he has a few very conservative views, e.g. relegating women to traditional roles. The protest is taking place in front of the US embassy.

Hi,
Recently Flickr did a remodel of the site and it was VERY poorly done. I am hoping to get at least 10,000 signatures to turn into Marissa Mayer. Please share this with all your friends! We need this to go viral.
That's why I signed a petition to Marissa Mayer, CEO, which says:
"We ask you to please change Flickr back to its old style. The new style is incredibly poorly done and we had no chance to opt out or even pick between the new and old style."
Will you sign the petition too? Click here to add your name:

Thanks!

Oxford Rejects Homophobes!
Exeter College hosted the group Christian Concern to hold a conference. The students believe that this group is anti lgbtq rights,anti Islam,and anti choice. They also believe that these values have no place in Oxford and should not be implicitly supported by allowing the group to hold a conference here. The student s were encouraging people to join the protest and to also make it clear that Oxford, and the student body is absolutely opposed,

On our last visit to Hong Kong, there was street fighting just near our Hotel. this van was in the wrong street, at the wrong moment and paid the penalty.
what's a big gay event without super christian crazy protestors?
the ara was there too, to protest the other protestors
in the face of what happens every day, the word protest appears euphemistic. what you are seeing here is not a demonstration but a crowd defending taksim, so that people can demonstrate and 'occupy' there. yesterday saw a lot of police provocation in order to lure protesters out of the greater taksim area and arrest them, but some strong voices were able to hold back most of the less strategically minded who wanted to throw stones at the water cannons waiting beyond the barricades (a rather futile excercise).
According to an actress closely associated with the ruling party, the protesting farmers are terrorists and paid agents of Pakistan.
Look into their eyes and decide.
This is in the city of Palermo, Sicily. We had to go around the backstreets to get past this protest march
from Explore. The pic of my son poking his head through an otter head hole, with the private bits of the otter next to him pixelated has been removed from Explore in the infinite wisdom of Flickr reacting to the censorship issues involving our friends from Germany, Singapore, Korea and China. Ah well, so it goes...
