Hands Raised for Equality + Justice

Brooklyn, New York 2020Hands Raised for Equality + Justice

Ten days after the killing of George Floyd there was a rally in Cadman Plaza Park in Brooklyn New York City. It brought together many people from all walks of life. Gathered together among the thousands were the mayor, borough president, and other city-state officials. But most important was the family of the fallen George Floyd and the people that came to support them from all over the city. In the middle of a pandemic, there were folks for as far as my eyes could see.

As I stood upon the perimeter park bench I noticed this scene of solidarity that I thought best represented this new movement beginning to sweep upon our nation. There were hands balled into fists lifted high across the landscape. But I noticed something special about this moment. These were the hands of a black woman, a white man, an Asian man, and a Hispanic woman, all raised in unity. In the background, I saw an arm wearing a rainbow bracelet. The people were in one mind, heart, and spirit for true justice.

Americans were awakened and there was no time to go back to sleep. The people were now hungry for change. No matter the ethnicity, together we would all do our part to work for equality.

I am so humbled to have been able to photograph this powerful image. I trust that it will encourage you to stand in unity in the fight.

Note: A portion of the proceeds will go to the fight for equality and justice.

To make the technological improvements of modern cameras visible in your photos, we continued to refine this process until we revolutionized classic photo development with our first generation of ultraHD Photo Prints. We are taking realism to the next level to continue to do your pictures justice. The experts at Fujifilm conceived a new photo paper finely tuned for our printing process. Fuji Crystal Professional Archive Maxima Paper was made for our ultraHD Photo Prints.
