Thanks Peter. I can’t look at this image without thinking of Tank Man, the civilian facing down a column of Chinese army tanks during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Big difference here of course: Busses, let alone tanks, weren’t even close, and my subject was just crossing the street :)
The story behind the Tank Man incident is a fascinating one, btw, if you’re not already familiar with all the details. Here’s a Wikipedia article that includes information about the 5 different photographers who captured the scene on film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man.
And here’s a video that shows the extended confrontation:
Apparently the fate of the courageous protester is still unclear.
