Occupy, the beginning of? first batch of images from the occupation at Westlake Park

Images that inspire, anger, move – that is what it’s all about, right? There is something going on right now, in Seattle, Wall Street, and abound, that I couldn’t ignore, and seeing images of, inspired me to take my camera out of the sabbatical I have it on.

While there are already many images of – we all see things differently, tell a different story. As well, part of the point of the movement that is happening, is duration – the only way to tell that, via images, is to keep taking them. So, this is the beginning of my series of recording the occupation here in Seattle – at Westlake Park. For more on the local occupation – occupyseattle.org. For more on what I think about it – and other things political – see my new poli-blog – politicsbyelisa.com – my first post is here.

Now, the images – these were captured October 6th and 8th.
