Voila une decouverte interessante: tu aimes ca, la street photography!

ah oui. mes premiers émerveillements avec la photo comme expression artistique furent avec a un livre de street photography qu'on m'a offert vers l'age de 13 ans.
mais je suis trop timide (qui l'eut cru 
il faudrait aussi que j'exerce mon œil, et cela vient avec le temps et l’expérience. un dilemme

oh Mark, you won't believe how it feels! i'm going there every night and sometimes during the day. my heart is bursting with all sort of feelings, excitement, joy, pride, fear, anxiety. it's been 11 days and it's going on. nothing concrete has happened. what if people get tired before it does. what if they don't but the revolution dies with time, from old age? what we want is so radical, and it has to be or it won't work. but it seems unattainable... it's good the motor of the revolution is young people, they are less defeatists than we are and this is their first revolution.

Powerful images
I love street photography too but I haven't conquered shyness and fear yet so I use my phone cam and pretend I'm texting

thank you!
those are taken with phone btw, and yes it's much easier.
i took others during the day with my camera and it was mostly ok. people don't get too suspicious of a camera in public manifestations.
usually i try to "shoot from the hip" like they say. but it rarely gives good frames. another thing i do, i shoot someone then casually take the camera off my eyes looking slightly behind him to the left

I think that during times like protest, celebration or when people are in costume are times when they most wish to be recorded and are most accepting of camera.
Thanks for the tip about looking off and behind to ease concerns of candid photo subject, I shall try that method
Have you seen photos of Slownumbers she does a lot of street photos and has very good work

There's some pretty cool pamphlet art involved in a Lebanese revolution, it seems

i thought so, too. 
there is everything in there, a real mirror of society.
yesterday i read: it's not a party this is a revolution; party later.
i partly agreed with it but i am glad they do party, it lets the steam out and it makes for good photos.

I am always very much interested in obscenities. One thing Russians are really good at is coming up with new ones all the time. Most are based on three word stems only: -d**k-, -c**t-, -f**k-. From these three they have devised an entire library of obscenities, insults and just slang words. Think of words like "to circumfuck (someone/something)". It probably means something in Russian

I don't think it's an insult, more of an admonition. And the 'pride' this person was referring to was probably about being too easily offended. It's something Russians and Arabs do seem to have in common. There's an American saying, "Don't get mad, get even". Russians and Arabs (in a very broad sense) do tend to get mad. The Chinese, instead, got even
As for racism, if you're looking for institutionalized racism and a disrespect for human life of a level European and American nazis couldn't even come up with, the Arab Peninsula is a good place to start looking..
At the end of the day, this isn't about Russians or Arabs or Americans or whoever, it's about basic human stupidity combined with greed and a lust for elevating oneself above the others. It's just that those who happen to have the most power at any given moment, are capable of the greatest stupidities

agree about the stupidity and agree about arabs, they are profoundly racist here too. so much they don't even question it.
i reassure you, i was very "chinese" with the french offender

There is a line missing on 'then' list - 'they kidnap some of you, shoot those in the backs and bury them in the desert'. I pray that it won't come to this but still, people should be warned about all the possibilities.
Sorry if i sound gruesome, but this is a very sick world
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's not gruesome, it's realistic. we lived this for 19 years. people were "disappeared" very often and even publicly assassinated. but that was the occupant regime that did it. our regime just stab us in the back theoretically speaking. they don't need to do more than steal from us and lie in our faces.
weirdly we always had freedom of speech in here. maybe they think better let the people talk than do.
now about the different political party's that's a different story. but extremists should know the risk and frankly i don't care for them.
there is force in the numbers too. millions now, if i believe the press.

it's just that all this reminds me to the tiniest detail what happened in my country few years ago. i hope your government and police are more humane. again - good luck and be carefull

i can just imagine what you lived... i am sorry you had to go through that.
thank you, i'll try to of course

after looking at it all for a while all posters and graphitti and tags catches my attention 
that´s map of Lebanon in poster at far right corner the girl is photographing i see
it´s difficult to say which animal the masked man in this series presents
-Bigfoot is with us , we cannot fail 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so many posters everywhere, i will have a lot of material to shoot when all of this ends.
well, i don't think that's the map, unless i didn't get it.
here, it represents the national debt that is enormous and our main problem now.
the masks..don't know why. for security reasons? are they protesting against their own people? big foot will be a great help if he could scare "the bad guys"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i compared it to general shape of Lebanons´ map , it´s similar but not exactly same -
it could easily been picture of Lebanons´map representing the national debt with person carrying it -
which is not bad idea for a poster
caught in a small squares,it conveys the feeling of confusion , which is how it must be ,
experienced firsthand
