political tones aside, a good series showing what was going on there...that country is in a bad place right now.

really ? with all due respect to matt who i think knows is one of my personal favourite photographers to watch here. i don't think these images convey the sentiment of what's going on there. i would have liked to see some emotion, rage, sorrow, pride, conviction, intensity. these are the emotions i would expect to see coming from a rally on this matter. this looks very non committal, passive and disengaged from the events and the topic.

hold up a sec....perhaps thats the point being made....now you got me thinking... :shock:

What these images document is that there are two sides to any story such as this... the media focus seems (at least to me) very anti-regime... and I'm not suggesting this is right or wrong, but Matt's images show that there are also Syrians with a pro-regime viewpoint. Not something I've seen reporting of in the media.

Mattk <insert Obi Wan voice>: These aren't protesters you're looking for

I think it would have been interesting to hear from their perspective about their thoughts on their current leader. Not sure what I can glean from the images. The third composition is interesting though in isolation, one would think it was a group of Polish people ;)
