Interesting and sad story for JTW. Great work of @BradPuet, making #mobilephotography mean something in moments like this event.

Description:
John T. Williams (JTW), a 50-year-old seventh generation Nitinaht carver of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations, was shot four times by a Seattle police officer on August 30, 2010. He died at the scene. His only crime appears to have been walking across the street carrying a carving knife and a chunk of cedar.Sunday February 26, 2012, marked history in Seattle as the JTW Memorial Totem Pole was raised. I had been following the JTW murder since it happened and so was sure to be present as the totem was raised. I will also be posting a blog post about the story on the Juxt blog as well as sharing stories on my own IG and EyeEm feeds.
Process:
Shot with native camera app. Brought into Color Splash to isolate the Elder. Brought into Snapseed for tune image/ ambiance 50%/ contrast 15%, then used grunge #291/ lowered texture to 20% then detail/ sharpened to 10%.
