Tibet and the Torch.


originally uploaded by Hugo*.

This is from one of my favorite photographers on Flickr, Hughes Leglise-Bataille, aka "Hugo" (view his stream). He posts mostly from a photojournalism and street photography angle, and mostly of events in France where he lives. This is a shot taken during the recent running of the Olympic Torch through Paris:

Here, a couple of protesters managed to wave a Tibetan flag and an RSF banner from a window of the townhall (Hôtel de Ville), to the joy of the pro-Tibetan supporters gathered on the square, and the fury of the Chinese ones, almost as numerous.

He inspires me.
