Artist's Comments

This picture was taken about 12 years ago in Gainesville, Florida. I was covering a local gay and lesbian pride rally for a class assignment. The lady in the picture approached me about taking her picture. At the time, she was wearing her t-shirt. I said "Sure". She grabbed a few friends and ran to the restroom. When she came back, she had me walk with her over to where the the guy in the picture had set up a table promoting intollerance of the gay and lesbian community. She told me "I'm going to count to three, and then I want you to take the picture." I didn't have time to focus or really establish much of a shot. She ripped off her shirt to reveal the message written in lipstick across her mid-section.

I appoligize for the crudeness of the print - because it was so impromptu, I didn't have a chance to snap off any clear - distinct shots.

Regardless, I'm happy with the image overall because of the juxtaposition of the subject matter. I just wish the woman had let me get better prepared for it.

HAH! This is great!! lol, I think I would have been caught a bit off guard as well, but that shot is priceless. I give that woman credit, she's got good humor. I agree with the message as well. *pisses on homophobes!* +fav

Heh!!! I love the expression on the face of the "savior" at the table. Your lady subject made an excellent point and I think the photograph itself is great. Nice contrast of dark and light. Boooooo intolerance!! *shakes cans in front of the evil table* Nyah!

Good work, Psi!! :D (Big Grin)

I love not only the picture but that you posted it. Many people wouldn't be so brave. Nice use of contrast there even if you weren't prepared to take that exact shot. Excellent.
