Hi Angelo,
I'd like to just comment on your photo rather than the political implications:
Fantastic arrangement, very professional presentation. I like the DOF employed in the centre shot, and I especially like the bottom right hand corner one with the a beautiful blue London sky and the Big Ben in the background.
The shot in the middle (bottom) is particularly touching shot.
Great account of the day, I will add this in my favourites.
Regards,
Ciprian

Very well documented Angelo, I'm sure this took some thought in terms of photographing as well as laying this out...Images and words make a nice tribute and a great documentary....:):)Linda

Thanks, Chris. I appreciate your honest opinion. Means a lot to me.
I could admit that I was just too lazy to make all the gaps even. However, I think the unnevennes of the gaps is a fair description of how things progressed. The event didn't evolve with the famous British punctuality and organisation (yeah!), but went along in a "hazy, lazy, kinda crazy South American way".. There were different bunches of people milling around unevenly. It was all very heterogeneous.
Plus, I was too lazy to make the gaps homogeneous :)

Nicely put together, Angelo, as a memorial to this sad event. My only (very small) nitpick is that I would prefer to have seen a standard amount of white space between each image!
Good work though!!
Best regards, Chris

Well all these "Leaders" that start / escalate the wars always talk about how brave one must be and then turn around and fall into the hands of dozens (if not hundreds) of security personal - totally out of harms way. Look at the path our "leader" took on 911 going from secret bunker to secret bunker in a lead lined, totally customized Boeing 747. Now that's what I call BRAVE !! - flying around the country all day running away from invisable enemies / terrorists. Talk is Cheap - especially from Politicians.(Too bad Jean Charles didn't have his own 747 - he'd be alive today. Unfortunately he was just a regular citizen using public transportation - an easy target, like many other's)
So many people, such as Jean Charles, are off shoot victims of the decisions these Master's of War have made. I hear so many flip comments on call in shows from the public on American media that the Iraq war was a good idea-"Better to fight THEM over there than over here" and other such illogical nonsense- and it always seems it's the last people that will get PERSONALLY affected by losing someone close to them - it's easy to send stranger's off to war as long as one doesn't have to get their own hands dirty. (and war is always such any easy decision to make when one doesn't want to handle very difficult situations on deeper levels of thought, solution, and reaction)
Jean Charles is just another "victim of circumstances" caught in the crazy crossfire of all this insanity that should have never been. There are others and there will be others (not the families of Politicians though - you can be sure of that) and it's very sad and sickening.
As far as the layout goes I think you did a wonderful job, Angelo, of documenting what the event was like with your variety of shots from the days gathering. Your about also added much to what went on. We're all victims of these badly thought thru decisions. Jean Charles, his family and friends paided the highest price unfortunately but on much lower levels so many people are suffering emotionally and physically due to the massive stress, insecurity, and anger that's being caused by all this craziness. You know, there's this little saying, "This to shall pass" that one uses to comfort oneself in times of trouble. Well I do hope that "this to shall pass" but frankly I don't see any sign of it or any kind of light at the end of the tunnel at this point - lets hope that soon there will be one. If the World's leaders can't solve this problem, as big as it is, than what good are they anyway?

Well documented Angelo, it was sad and the London Brazillian community where honourable in their respect for the loss of Jean and I for one can say that I am proud to have been there that day standing along side showing my respects and defiance at the atrocity.
I cant believe that you must have been standing as close as 2 feet from me in some of these images.
I was there with my 8 year old daughter who was upset at what happened to Jean also.
I hope to me up with you while we are out one day,
Hugh

Ian,
I totally agree with what you are saying.
Interesting how life has relative value. 56 people die in London and there's a two minute silence (a good thing, too. I happily took part in that). 100,000 die in Iraq since the end of occupation, or a train crash kills 200 in Pakistan, countless thousands STARVE to death, and nary a second of silence is dedicated to them.
56 people die in London and that is totally acceptable reason to risk killing innocent civilians. However, countless die in Palestine and only the suicide bombers are the "terrorists".
Too much easy macho talk going on, too few attempts at understanding others.
Sir Ian Blair asked the public to put themselves in the shoes of the policemen. I'd like to ask him to put himself in the shoes of Jean Charles...

You are probably right, Gayle. I should have listened to my wife. She said the same thing: to put the image where Jean's photo is shown, right in the middle.
But thick-skull here just didn't listen...

Marília,
I will say this: I was already upset that a man had been shot and that there was a "shoot to kill" policy in operation. I was disgusted to hear some British and European colleagues speaking about the act with pride, almost joy.
Then I found out he was just an ordinary Brazilian, trying to eke out a living in a foreign land. He was killed becaused he "looked like a terrorist" (let me translate: his skin was tanned, his hair was black).
People can be such sheep. When they wake up, they'll realise how much they let the state get away with.

Kevin,
The church service was multi-faith, with statements made by a Muslim scholar, a Rabbi and also an atheist, who read two poems. (Either they were boring, she read them badly, or both, so I cannot remember them).

Angelo, many times I tried to write something on your previous tribute photo for Jean, many times I didn't press enter? Why? No words were adequate to express the horror, the injustice, the senselessness, the shame, the frustration, the anger. Then you hear the Blair twins, Sir Ian's unconvincing apology and clear lack of any sympathy (resign, Sir Ian? No?), and Tony's continuance of habiual lying when asked if he had personally authorised a shoot to kill policy ('I honestly can't remember if it ever came across my desk'). Honestly, Tony? The subsequent success of the police operation only makes this action look ever more senseless. I am deeply saddened by other events in London, Egypt, Turkey, and elsewhere and as you said, suicide bombings are an everyday event now in Iraq, maybe 30 or so dead EVERY DAY, and yet desperate people still line up every day for the chance of a job, to vote, to help themselves and their families, with no protection whatsoever. That's defiance.
I am pleased you have recorded and left us warm reminder of Jean's presence and absence, which lacks bitterness and revenge, and gives hope that the humanity of the majority can prevail.

Excellent tribute my dear friend...
Great composition and colors... Love the work you did here...
It is a shame that these things happen and I feel more shame knowing it is happenning all around the world...
As I told you in another of your shots, I hope someday we open our eyes to take our values back and to live in peace...
I hope justice will be done for Jean Charles and his family... This will not bring him back, but maybe will help to prevent other deads from comming...
May he rest in peace...
Take care my friend...

I find hard, as a Brazilian, to express my feelings. I think you will understand it.
However, Rob, even he was not a Brazilian I would feel the same.
Every time an innocent is killed by hunger, by gunshot, by negligence, we loose a lot.
How so very sad this world is today.

Dear Carolyn,
The day was certainly full of friendship and expressions of solidarity. Jean Charles was shot and killed by police, though he was innocent.
Fun was not present, though we tried to keep bitterness and resentment at bay.
