Great to have you on board. Any camera, any format is fine, and any date that means 'May Day' in your part of the world.

In the UK May 7th is the May Day holiday, so I'll probably be taking pictures of the last day of this excuse for a lot of morris dancing and boozing:

Good idea - I´ll give it a try - don´t actually know what we´ll use the day for, I don´t see too many demonstrations these days. Actually, we might go to the woods, weather permitting ... Anyway; I´m in.

What it's about:
May Day, Tuesday 1 May 2007, is a big occasion in many places. In other places it is likely under the radar.
Following on from our Equinox day how about some of us making photos on May Day this year?
Mine will likely be old guys with dignity and red flags who remember the 1974 revolution, in a ramshackle parade.
From other parts of the world we may see celebrations, or parades, or a regular Tuesday.
One (1) photo per member typical of May Day wherever you are.
Respond if you're in for this. And if we get some interest we'll ask Stephen to set up a 'May Day 2007' gallery for our photos.
(I know that in Britain 'May Day' falls on Monday 7 May 2007. Go figure. If you're there feel free to photograph on that date instead. Perhaps photos of the traditional queues outside IKEA?)

I'm in the Seattle area and will be out shooting tomorrow. I plan to use HP5, an slr (sorry, don't have an appropriate rangefinder for the occasion).
Tomorrow is a planned illegal aliens' rights march. Is that an oxymoron?
So I'm in.

Mission accomplished shot 2 rolls of fuji 1600 color and a roll of neopan 400
Awesome scene inside an ancient temple I'm a little afraid about the one 40 shot roll of 1600 natura I shot with the Contax T. I'll soup the 400 tonight and pick up the natura tomorrow afternoon.
Quite a strange experience, this woman next to me was trying to get a photo of the monks making a sand mandala with her cell phone but it was too dark so I told her I'd send her some photos if she gave me her email address. I had just finished a roll of neopan 400 and put the smoking camera away and grabbed another fresh camera loaded with natura, when a temple official comes up and tells me no photos. I could take photos however if I had a press pass. Say what? I couldn't let the photo op get away so I went to the office to see about getting one. Turns out the person in charge is an old friend of mine. In moments I've got a press armband and I'm in like Flynn.
From the Sacred (Tibetan monks) to the profane (Mongol pop stars) here is a shot from Monday's Mongol Fest in Tokyo:

Here's a photo, sorry it's from a DSLR, film will be developed and scanned in a couple of days.
The official parade in Zurich is always an ecletic mix of causes from the usual trade unions, to Tamil separatists, Kurdish separatists and democracy in Iran.
Freedom for Ocalan and Peace in Kurdistan

A few more here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nksyoon/sets/72157600163692460/detail/
I also shot 2 rolls of Tri-X on my Xpan. Should be online in a couple of days.

steamer: I like the color in this photo.
nksyoon: It looks so tasteful it could only be Switzerland.
My own film will be back tomorrow. It was good light, and all went according to plan. A small group of old guys who remember the 1974 revolution (carrying red flags) walking round the city behind a marching band. By taking shortcuts across their route I was able to photograph them three times.

Yikes!!! Cue the "outer limits" theme, for some reason none of my black and white shots of the monks came out--just blank negs. One of the color rolls is doubtful too so I've got my fingers crossed.

Although the day started in a wrong way (a tube of the water broken #!!@***!&%!!!) I took some shots yesterday night after midnight and today at lunchtime (a nice fish fair in a park near Lucca) and in the afternoon (there where a couple of concerts for the MayDay in a couple of places in the neighborhood)... hope to have some results to share soon...

I don't want to start any misconceptions here, but we had a rain free day here in Seattle and my visit downtown was a success.
I shot 2 1/2 rolls, though I think most of the frames would look pretty monotonous next to one another.
I should have them developed soon.
