June 2nd,
As protests begin in Minneapolis, rioting gets out of hand. Buildings like autozone
get burned down to show the country that George Floyd’s death was the tipping
point and not something that should be forgotten.
Haze is traditionally an
atmospheric phenomenon
in which dust, smoke, and
other dry particulates
obscure the clarity of the
sky.
This picture was taken using
a Wide Camera Lens, it
creates a wider image and a
bigger field of view. A way you
can tell is by how the edges
fade to black.
Combustion is the process
of burning something.
Smoke is visible vapor
emitted and hot gasses
rising from a burning
surface.
Why it Matters to Me
This event is meaningful to me because living in America as a person of
color, I fear that the racism that is existing in today's world will never come to
an end. I was really happy when people started taking a huge stand and
started fighting for a change for something that has been happening
basically forever. I am glad that there were protests and riots from people
trying to help in June and July, but as you can see it has died down and I am
fearful that this would be something that is just forgotten about next year as
people move on with their lives and then do the same things that we were
just trying to make disappear.
