French Potojournalism - France on Strike Part II

Part I French Photojournalism | French Photojournalism PART III

Here is another example of an allegory. If you have any questions about allegories please read the first post in the series where they are explained.

Today we are analyzing another photo from The Boston Globe's The Big Picture - France on Strike. This photographer used an interesting way of presenting an allegory through a series of "pointers". Below are color-coded pointers circled, and the conclusion of these power pointers are marked by an X. There were many other clues within this photo, but I'm only explaining a handful here. I hope you will go beyond what has been demonstrated here, and delve further into this artist's vision.

Color Code Clues
X Power Points Below

	White Color Code Starting with the white buttons on the hat above you'll see a series of white dots connect us to this power point - can you guess its meaning? Take note of the following: white buttons on hat - indicating the white dot code black band around finger prior to black band around wrist
	Pink and Brown/Yellow Color Code Both of these paths lead us to a young woman's shoulder. The way her hair is placed is significant! The pink path are hands; each one counting down. 4, 3, 2, 1 NOTICE: The pinky in the 4th pink circle starting from the left is malformed - as if pointing somewhere. The brown path includes 3 girls sitting together wearing glasses. It isn't a coincidence that they are together! Scan the photo yourself. Isn't it odd that the only people in the room wearing glasses are grouped together, and they are all women surrounding the power point? In the universal artists code glasses ALWAYS indicate - take notice or look here!
	Blue Color Code The blue path clearly makes rings an obvious conclusion. Then we see a blue scarf - in the SAME color as the jacket the woman looking backward is wearing! She is looking at the earing highlighted in this photo! Do you know what they are saying now? 0
And finally here is my clue to help you with your conclusion.
As always - the rest is up to you!!

The rest is up to you!!
