hi,strong street and photojournalism shot...
The primary role of photojournalism is to visually document (photo) and report (written words) on the varied viewpoints in our common world as well as the significant events of the day...given that this is a photo site,this image is a good example of "a visual document on one varied viewpoint"...technically there is room for improvement...i think having a shallower dof separating the man more from the background would make a stronger image as well as getting a bit closer to show more detail of the man...
Per the message on the sign,i think the urban gangsta style lingo diminishes the messenger somewhat...but guess many Americans are just fed up and frustrations come out in varied ways.....60% and growing disapproval rating of Bush's disastrous tactics sends a strong message of its own.....peace,gayle

I always thought Austin was , by far, the best city in Texas. Once again here's more proof how right I was. This is one GREAT journalistic shot (should add that to your categories Dwayne - you can put your shot into 3 different ones that way it gets more exposure/more views). Love the sign, So simple yet so to the point - it's rare to see such BRILLIANT clarity. Please get this Gents name and contact info if you bump into him again cause I'd be more then happy to by him a few beers, maybe even dinner and catch some good Blues/Rock bands downtown - A true Patriot / American. Just fantastic work !! take care, Mark PS. You know, INTO MY FAVORITES, why not? THe majority now have caught on to the truth - I just love it !!

Thank you for the correction and for the pat on the head, Mr. Loy (my credentials are not as impressive as yours!) A shame (but appropriately?) my post was disallowed. Have a lovely day!

Thanks for the feedback. Not much of a coffee smeller as I do so like my sleep. I would appreciate a Mr. Loy next time, not the lower case mr. Loy. Other than that you did well. My children also say, "You're welcome."

Without coming into the discussion, it certainly is a good journalistic photo. Would have even been better with wide angle and coming closer, so the face and expression of the man are more visible.

This image was intended to be photographically artistic, meaning we are here because of our passion for photography and to let others see through our eyes. Photographers are monitors, we sit back observe and capture. Lets not get caught up in politics.

Bingo! You hit the photographic nail right dead-center! It is the place where this man can stand and show such a message that makes this such a powerful image. Unfortunately, there are some that are so full of "Bush Rage" they can only lash out and try to belittle others who understand and enjoy our freedoms.
Jim
ps---you have a very nice country up-there-about.

No, you missed the mark completely. The man making the statement owes his freedom and rights to people like my children who volunteer to protect the rest of us.

Here let me make it more clear... That well tailored, clean shaven and I am sure sweet smelling man has the right and freedom to call the President anything he likes because of people like my children who VOLUNTEER to do something for their country. Say what you want about our President, 9/11 was no lie and both my children went into service because of the attacks on our country. As for being the lowest common denominator of the people, I have a double bach. degree in history/poli sci with teaching credentials and working on a masters in admin. My wife is a teacher of learning disabled. My oldest son has a masters and the Air Force boy is working on a 5 year masters program in physics and calculus. Oh and the youngest among us, my reservist daughter is going for a masters in music performance. She plays three instruments VERY well and speaks three languages. If this is the lowest common denominator of people what a great country we have! It is the intellectual elitism you show that drives people cross-eyed. You assume that if an opinion is divergent from yours then those holding that opinion are less educated or informed.
And name calling only shows the true color of all who participate.

I don't think that this photograph is about the statement, it is about the right to make it.
This picture seems to capture a man celebrating that he is making his opinions heard.
To me, photography is about expressing your view of the world around you to others. This man has choosen another forum to do this, and I think that Dwayne has captured that very well.

I say to Jim Joy, blah, blah, blah!! Your statement is the weakest statement possible, and lacks truth and clarity; it also speaks to lowest common denominator of people, exactly who Bush wants wallowing in and believing his BS.
My wife pointed out the other day that the Bush lemmings refer to their opponents as “intellectual elitists”; it’s nice they (Bushies) recognize that they themselves are not very bright.
Cheers,
