Nice photo reminescent of a 60's anti-war type shot but I am struggling to find its purpose other than people staring off into the distance at something and the guy in the sunglasses staring, perhaps obliquely at the camera. And?

I'm having the same problem Chris is having, Jenn. If this were a documentary shot to illustrate a newspaper article about disgruntled youth it'd be pretty good photojournalism. But as a standalone I don't see the point. As photojournalism it can't stand alone and it's not street photography.
