Now, aside from their right to protest, I’m neither for or against the protesters as there are so many different issues being represented. Some I definitely support, and some I don’t. I’m not a photojournalist per se, but whenever I can, I like to get out there and see events for myself. So much is mis-represented by the media today. I need to see for my self and let the photos speak for themselves.
The folks out there come from all walks of life, with a myriad of issues. They were friendly, willing to talk; and were excited to be a part of something, and have a platform to be heard. Some were more serious then others. My photos show no violence, because I didn’t see violence. Not to say all the protesters are peaceful, I cannot say that either. I only covered one block. The group I photographed were camped in a small park a few blocks from Wall St itself.
The images in this blog are a sample of those protesters. Check out more images of the Protesters via the Gallery.
