Walking the picket lines on strike was a common mode of change in the mid to late 20th century in the US. This B&W image was shot with Plus-X film from the Colfax viaduct in Denver, Colorado. Camera was a Heiland Pentax SLR.
Allan L. Whitehead October 24, 2004
Marvelous presentation and capture, Murry, the b&w accents the severity and reality of strikes, whether one believes in them or not. Very well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #181574Donna J. Taff October 24, 2004
