Rainy Occupation / by An

Are we tired of Occupy stuff yet? I don't know really how to feel about it.

This protest that I followed about a month ago started out organized but then digressed into random chanting from multiple groups...simultaneously. After blocking traffic in the freezing rain for about 2 hours, the group split up, one headed back home while the other marched on to the community college.

With no feeling left in my extremities, I gladly followed the first group back while a fellow photographer went with the second group.

Even though nothing too exciting happened, I got a chance to shoot nighttime, which was something I hadn't done until that day. It's a completely different world, shooting at night (cue pre-photo-assignment anxiety), so what I got was a butt load of blurry nothingness and a handful of clean ones.

And guess what? It turns out my camera is waterproof! Huzzah!

Blurry, but cool looking.
