This is very recent, however this does feel like a picture future generations should see.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

the thing is that images like this, while definitely being historical, will probably become illegal at some point. imo it’s important to spread these thing as far and wide as possible, even if it’s “new”
we are living through america’s transition into fascism, and very likely its complete collapse. the sub “rules,” i think, should be the least of your concerns at this point
Fuck man, I’m stressed about the state of my rotting fucking country 22/7, let me have my two hours of enjoying history per day.
i’m sorry dude. your posts are always great, please never stop
Ha, I’d like to stop someday. Ideally, I’d only post occasionally instead of all the time, but the comms need to have a bit of self-sustaining activity before I’m willing to stop.
HistoryPhotos here is getting close, I hope!
Which can be done in another community.
On the other hand, this looks so much like the historical pictures and events we’ve seen that it blends right in.
