Hard hat rally, New York 1969

"Hard hat rally, New York" is a black and white photograph taken by Garry Winogrand in 1969. The image captures a crowd of people at a rally, likely protesting against the Vietnam War, as the sign "Impeach the Red Mayor" implies. Winogrand, known for his street photography, captures the energy and tension of the event in a snapshot, providing a glimpse into the social and political climate of the late 1960s. The use of a wide-angle lens creates a sense of chaos and immediacy, blurring the lines between viewer and participant.
