Occupy Wall Street: Sleeping in Zuccotti Park

^{1/320th at F6.3, ISO 200 (35mm).}

Last week I did a bunch of shooting and interviews for a Daily News article on the Occupy Wall Street protests. It's an incredible thing to watch a bunch of 20 years olds working to create a democratic, livable society within a tiny concrete park in the middle of the city.

I will post more of the images along with more about what I learned from the protests at some point this week.  This was my favorite image and the most 'artistic' that I took from the day, which means that there's no chance it'll make it into the article. :)  But I like how this image shows how these kids are sleeping and living right out in the open and how they are also treated almost like zoo animals for the passerby's.
