Vigil

This is from a candlelight vigil in Red Bank for the return of Sean Goldman. Today is the fifth anniversary of the day he was taken to Brazil by his mother. The two never came back. She later remarried and then died during childbirth, but Sean, now 9yo, is being kept by his step-father. Sean's biological father, David, who lives in Tinton Falls, has been steeped in international legal battles to bring Sean home and has met resistance every step of the way. The story has recently been gaining some national and even international recognition...

I've done a number of shoots for my paper on this subject, mostly just portraits of David, but I shot this on my own since I thought it was important to shoot even though it didn't fall into my work schedule.
