I've seen some photos from the various OCCUPY protests in various locations on this forum and elsewhere. But it seems like they're showing up under camera-specific threads rather than topical threads. I shot some in Philly yesterday, at and around the occupation site. Am heading up to NYC next weekend and may do a bit of the same up there. I find this sort of documentary shooting to be very different from street shooting - its less about catching spontaneous moments that say something about the human condition (although that's possible too, just not the main point), and more about just documenting a piece of contemporary history.
Anyway, I thought these events probably deserve a topic-specific thread, so here is one. Don had some great shots from Philly that were mostly portraits of participants with their signs and whatnot. These shots mostly just go after the atmosphere of the encampment and some little details of what this kind of living feels like.
EVERYONE is invited to join - this is not intended to be just a thread for my stuff. I have a few from Philly and will have a few from NYC in another couple of weeks, but I know folks are shooting these all over the US and beyond, so let's see 'em...
