Jeanne René ~ Time ... Promises and Poetry : Street photos ... San Jose CA Women's March and March for Our Lives

Of all my photos over the years I am proudest of my street photography of the San Jose Women's March and San Jose March for Our Lives. The time period covered is 2017 through 2020. During the Covid global pandemic the successful protest marches were halted.

This is just a sample of my Women's March/March for my Lives photos. I took at least 2000 photos and will have to revisit them. More of my photos on this subject can be found on my Flickr account.

Street photography is my favorite. I believe it is time for me to take out my camera and get connected with the street again.

We are the change. Love.

Thank you for visiting.

Artist Statement

The many times I have tried to write an artist statement I just end up deleting what I have struggled to compose. So, simply put I just do what I do. I write what I feel, what I see, what I imagine and what I question. I paint what my mind envisions in my daydreams, often no plan whatsoever but simply putting a brush to the canvas. It's all that simple. I'll leave it to you to decide what you think about any and all. That's my statement.

Let me be
the storyteller.
Let me
weave
just for you
the rhythm of a beating heart,
visions too marvelous to behold,
and the delights of a gentle touch
in my poem.

In my poem
let me
compose
just for you
the power of thought,
the joy of laughter,
and the tears spent over a forsaken passion ...
for you
spun
by me
the storyteller.
Let it be.
