Innocence lost.... This shot was taken at a "Occupy Wall Street" protest in Zuccatti Park in NYC on Black Friday.
The image struck a nerve with me because it reminded me of all of the war protest and Woodstock images of the 60's and 70's
The gear used was a Nikon D700, Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VRII and edited in LR3, CS4, and Nik silver.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
Cheers, Joe

Love it, Joe. Great nostalgic feel to it. Perfect b&w treatment. I like the way she's looking at you. #1428059David M. Montero December 07, 2011
Reminds me of the same thing Joe. Things don't change much over the years do they? When a photograph can do this - it's a great image. #9852804Ellen Devenny January 24, 2012
