Freeze for Global Warming

This is another photo that I took on this day:

I had no idea at first why these people were turning into statues, but Pam / Coasties and I were in Vulcan Lane in Auckland City that day, and over 100 people stopped and stood still like statues for 7 whole minutes and we were lucky to be able to photograph them.

At 1pm on 5 June 2009, people across New Zealand froze. They came together in public places and became human statues – stopping and standing for united action on climate change. Over a thousand people took part.

The Freeze was held to highlight the need for New Zealanders to come together in 2009 to take action on climate change. It’s a critical year for action, as a new global climate change treaty is being negotiated in Copenhagen in December. Global warming is totally within our grasp to freeze and reverse – we simply need to show our courage to act.

This lady caught my eye, along with another 50 odd people that I also captured. It was great to be able to wandered around and take photos of people like this - and NO-ONE minded at all :) :)

Hi Janice,
That is a great chance for you and us: dozens of live statues shoted by Janice.
This one is very good, the dame in first plan is fantastic.
Best regards
Raimundo

Great shot, especially the perspective and lighting. 7 minutes of people standing still? A dream come true for portrait shots!

This is a nice shot Jannie! But what catches my eye is the bokeh behind her, real life, interesting people going about their lives. I love "man on the street" photography! Your clarity is super here!
cccooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeee Kia Ora!

Hello Janice,

Another fine shot from your 'freeze' theme.
The whole composition draws together very well.
Just co-incidence, possibly, but look how well the b/g colours match your focal person!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Janice,

Great portrait and special too! Love it you have a good eye for photography, well observed and captured. The DOF is wonderful, almost bokeh anyway a superb street shot of Auckland.
