With this series of images, I was

provoked to attend Rolling

Thunder which is now known as an

event in Washington, DC where

American war veterans travel from

all areas of the country to

celebrate their patriotism.

During the event, a third party

was asked to photograph the

figure under this blue pleated

burqa, which could be considered

the most fundamental symbol of

slavery.   "...his photography

marked by a fascination with

those with whom he had the most

profound affinities, the ordinary

people and its suburbs. His

pictures of them were of form of

self portrait."  Doisneau, Peter

Hamilton, pg 45
