Week 5: "New York City Attempts to Remove Occupy Wall Street Protesters from Park Encampment" - National Post

1. The lack of photographic focus on the NYPD rids them of individual identities and labels them as a single faceless force, not a department made up of many individuals.
2. The focus on the peace hand-signs made by the subject makes the subject seem harmless and peaceful, and also provides a parallel to 1960's USA and hippie protests.
3. The black/navy blue/white chromatic scale of the road and NYPD in front of the subject sharply contrasts with his red beanie hat, which also mimics the red light of a traffic signal or a 'STOP' sign.
