Anyway, that’s an interesting visual difference between Zucotti and the other places I see in photos. Zucotti, visually, looks so much more lived in.

Though I do very much look forward to seeing what you produce, Erica. Don’t know if the faction thing is what you’re after, or if it’s something that can be communicated visually without editorial content, but I’m pretty sure that nailing that would be far and away the most interesting perspective I will have seen on Zucotti. Otherwise, I fear mostly what we have to look forward to is violence. Police perpetrated here in New York. Who knows what all elsewhere?

To say I have been living it may be an overstatement compared to those who truly Occupy, as I don’t sleep there, face those challenges that come with total commitment or have to deal with being the subject of intrigue. As far as I can tell, there is a real patchwork or degrees of ‘living it’ at OWS. I know 2 who have been there from day 1 who sleep there and are there at all times, but don’t march or participate in the GA – and another 3 who have slept there from day 5 who do the same. There are many organizer types who are there almost daily, though not all of them sleep at the park, but there must be some who do. Others come and go, have lives to attend to, others come for 2 or 3 days and then return home. For me, it is pretty much my 2nd life these days, but it cannot be my first. Whether or not it translates visually, I do feel I have a special perspective on a percentage of the place/people, and count the experience as personally meaningful. Last night I was entering into a convo about my photographic presence w someone who was being a bit protective about the park/people, when a tent unzipped, a man leaned out and said – that’s Erica, she’s my friend, leave her alone :)

AKAKY IRL: Maybe everyone in Austin is gay?

AKAKY: I doubt it. It’s Texas, after all.

AKAKY IRL: That’s true. Maybe they’re blind.

Where you’ve been? :))

“I honestly think the best thing I’m going to do is around the corner—I always look to the future.

Yes absolutely! It’s exactly the same reason I also love Fridays.

This was posted on FB, for those who did not read, here is the link to PDN on line: http://www.pdnonline.com/pdn/features/Compact-Cameras-Kee-3921.shtml

And I also read this quote: “A career champagne with a beer salary” don’t remember the origin, but so funny and true!

Your statement is a pretty good summary of Western media. No ?

There’s way more people wanting to catch a glimpse of Janet Jackson’s nipple than there are those interested
in, say, Libya.

thanks for the info about Annie Leibovitz, will google her and educate myself…

Good luck on your own interpretation, I know you will make it your own. Don’t jump to show it soon :))

Was reading this Mick Jones interview today: http://www.gq.com/entertainment/music/201111/mick-jones-gq-music-issue, and this quote made me think of your prior conversation:

“I honestly think the best thing I’m going to do is around the corner—I always look to the future. I don’t like to go on too much about the past, even though I know I’ve been going on about it. Honestly, I think, the best thing—I haven’t done it yet. I’m looking forward to it.”
