October 07

London

WAR IS OVER!
IF you want it
Love & Peace from John & Yoko
(is the full text)

I couldn't wait to have the complete text back on screen, I had to catch my coach.

Yoko is recreating the billboard event they did 29 years ago.
The message is "We can do it", by creating good vibrations in mass and positive thinking.

The idea is to take a picture of yourself in front of the billboard and send it out.
This one was taken in Victoria Station, there is one in Time Square and other places.
I didn't know anything about this when I took the photo, I was just very intrigued by it.

Here is a shot with the full text.


Canon EOS 350D
1/320s f/5.6 at 30.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Great moment caught, well done.

Ann, I haven't cloned any words out. It's a video screen so the text appears slowly.
There are other advertisements on that screen playing in a loop.
In fact, I wanted the full text but I didn't had the time to wait for the text to be back.

nice lighting...like the person in the fg looking towards your subject as well...
Guest 09-Oct-2005 02:55
I love the lighting here!
Clever of you to clone out the other words and make "War Is Over" stand out.

I love the contrast of lighting in this photo Kim.. and it's great you took a photo of this Yoko's promotion and I just hope that this kind of ads works.. :o)

Comme laine, j'aime bien la lumière dans cette photo. Et les gens un peu partout. J'adore les photos où l'on sent l'ambiance des villes, en particulier le soir. (Amusant aussi le "xpensive" dans le coin gauche :-))

but we cant pull out now, we will just be handing the country over to the terrorists...dont just take GwB's word for it, even Osama says Iraq is important. Never mind that we cabt catch Osama and that the whole reason to take Iraq was fabricated.

Very nice shot BTW!

If it were only true. I will take a look for the one in Times Square.
