Bernie Boston, March on the Pentegon. Flower Power

Known as the Flower Power picture. This pictures captures the whole Hippy movement and the motives in a single capture, the army/police standing in form against the unarmed protesters who are wanting peace within the vietnam war. Placing flowers upon the barrels of the guns, does show us how the stereotypes of hippies and their use of "flower power" does derive from and how their anti-war beliefs can be a powerful symbol of the times. Even though iam not wanting to a photography project for my media product, i do want to do a piece of Gonzo journalism based around a major event like these marches, unfortunatly it will be proved rather difficult to gain access to a rally in such a small time period of when this work has to be done thus is making me believe that writing about a music gig, a night out, would be much more simpler and easier to achieve
