[Leica] quite the photograph

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

The photographer Richard Lamm was interviewed today on CBC radio. He 
contacted the people involved, and talked to the man's father, who 
was just delighted. He's in Australia.

The girl's mother has not been contacted or no contact has been 
reported, but her reaction might not have been the same.

Peter said the response to the photo has been amazing, and has 
certainly garnered more instant fame than any other photo he has 
shot. He heard about the photo being shown on the Jay Leno page this 
morning from others.

In general, the reaction against the riot here in Vancouver has been 
very strong. Of the 100 or so people that have been arrested so far, 
only 6 are from Vancouver.

About a 1500 citizens helped city crews clean up yesterday, coming 
with garbage bags etc. The police have received lots of support 
messages, flowers, cookies, etc.

Websites and facebook pages are flooded with images and leads to the 
worst rioters, and a lot of the really stupid ones, who have posted 
pictures and/or admitted things on facebook or other places have been 
outed to the general public, their employers and the police. Lots 
more to come.

A truly disgusting display that had nothing to do with hockey, and 
certainly nothing with the outcome, as a number of the instigators 
came downtown with molotov cocktails, balaclavas, gas masks etc. Not 
the usual items for a game. They were going to go for it, and the 
outcome of the game had nothing to do with it.

If there ever is to be a crowd like this again, and the number of 
people was predicted, a much greater police/military presence will be 
needed.
