In the summer of 1972 the Rainbow People organized a "crater dig" on the
diag to protest the Vietnam war. I took this photo with my Canon-made Leica
replica. The Sun didn't want to pay money for photos so I said they could
use it for free if they gave me credit. They used the photo but did not give
me credit.
The text of the story is available at the AADL web site, Police Attack Crater Dig!.
Crater dig on the diag, summer 1972. I like how the one cop with no
sunglasses is looking right at me. I think it helps humanize the
police.
Minolta srt-101 on Tri-X, probably either a 200 or a 135 with 2x tele-extender.
In 1989 I went to Laos and saw an actual bomb crater from the secret
war the US waged on Laos. It was a whole lot bigger than the ones on the Diag.
I also learned that there was still a lot of unexploded ordnance. Farmers and
children were still getting killed 16 years after the war ended.
