MARCH TO SACRAMENTO - B/W
|
|
|
|
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE MARCH - FLAGS, BOYCOTT SIGNS, PLACARDS/MUSIC AND JOYOUS CONFUSION ARE ON DISPLAY. TO CAPTURE THIS SHOT PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS MUST HAVE SCALED UP THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE TO FIND A PERCH.
|
|
IN THE BLEAK AND BARREN COUNTRYSIDE OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY, PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS USED BRIDGE BARRIERS TO HELP FRAME HIS SHOTS.
|
|
WHENEVER POSSIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS USED CURVES IN THE HIGHWAY TO HIGHLIGHT THE LENGTH AND SIZE OF THE MARCH.
|
|
EVEN CHILDREN JOINED THE MARCH FOR A FEW MILES OR EVEN THE DAY. AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE, WHAT MEANING AND LASTING IMPACT WOULD THE MARCH TO SACRAMENTO HOLD FOR THEM?
|
|
COULD ANY SCENERY BE MORE STERILE AND LIFELESS THAN FREEWAY OVERPASSES? BUT PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS USED THESE GIGANTIC FORMS AND THE FREEWAY STREET MARKINGS TO FRAME THE MARCH TO SACRAMENTO.

PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS HAS POSITIONED HIMSELF ON THE FREEWAY PASS SO HE CAN GET A SHOT DIRECTLY DOWN ON THE MARCHERS.

THE MARCH LINE EXTENDS A QUARTER MILE OR MORE, A THOUSAND PEOPLE ON TODAY'S MARCH.

A GROUP OF YOUNG MARCHERS MUG FOR THE PHOTO. NOTICE THE BOYCOTT SCHENLEY POSTER. BEFORE THE MARCH REACHED SACRAMENTO, SCHENLEY LIQUORS RECOGNIZED THE NFWA AS A LABOR UNION AND AGREED TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT. THE MARCH ACHIEVES A VICTORY !!
