MARCH TO SACRAMENTO - B/W
|
|
|
|
SAFETY FOR THE MARCHERS WAS ALWAYS OF GREAT CONCERN. HERE THE BRIDGE ROAD IS NARROW AND THERE IS NO REGULATION SIDEWALK. MARCHERS WALK SINGLE FILE AND USE THE CONCRETE CURB AS A WAY TO STAY OFF THE HIGHWAY.

A PHOTOGRAPHER'S DREAM FRAME: A CURVE IN THE ROAD, A TREE ON EACH SIDE, WINDS WHIPPING THE FLAGS AND A BLACK AND WHITE HIGHWAY PATROL CAR
|
|
TO CREATE THIS SHOT, PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS HAD TO BE PERCHED HIGH UP ON A TREE OR PERHAPS A TELEPHONE POLE.
|
|
A LONELEY BAND OF MARCHERS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA. TRUDGING IN THE LOOSE DIRT ALONG THE ROADSIDE IS AKIN TO MARCHING IN SAND.
|
|
FARMWORKERS WERE JUSTIFIABLY PROUD TO PART OF THE MARCH TO SACRAMENTO AND THEY SHOWED IT.
|
|
THE CENTRAL VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA IS THOUGHT TO BE FLAT, THE MARCHERS FOUND IT TO BE UNDULATING TERRAIN WITH STEEP UPHILL WALKING.
|
|
AT THE END OF EACH DAY'S MARCH, THE BANNER WAS LOWERED AND THE FLAGS FURLED AT THE OVERNIGHT BIVOUAC.
|
|
FOR SOME REASON THE AZTEC EAGLE ON THE CAP OF THE MARCH CAPTAIN ROBERTO BUSTOS LOOKS TO ITS LEFT, BUT ON HIS UNIFORMED SHIRT, IT LOOKS TO ITS RIGHT.
|
|
AT THIS POINT THE MARCH HAS GROWN IN SIZE AND THIS BRIDGE HAS NO OTHER PLACE TO WALK THAN ON THE ROAD. THE MARCHERS CLOSE RANKS AND TAKE A FULL LANE TO CROSS.
|
|
AT SOME NIGHT LOCATIONS THE MARCHERS STAGED A CANDLE LIGHT PROCESSION TO PREPARE FOR THE EVENING RALLY.
|
|
THE ENTIRE MARCH TO SACRAMENTO - DAY OR NIGHT - WAS STAGED AS A PUBLIC PAGEANT, IT WAS A TRAVELING PUBLIC ART PEFORMANCE.
|
|
CARRYING THE BANNER OF THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE TO LEAD THE MARCH TO SACRAMENTO WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A HIGH HONOR AND CARRIED WITH IT MUCH RESPONSIBILITY.
