Occupy Oakland
Oakland, CA 2011
On November 2nd, I ventured out to the East Bay to follow the Occupy Oakland rally who successfully shut down the Port of Oakland. With over ten thousand people in attendance, I was mesmerized by the crowd’s zeal. This is my attempt to capture the energy in the air.

I was not expecting to go to Oakland to see the protest since I was at work but realized that this was an important event to document. Let’s just say that I was probably the only photographer in a skirt, tights, and a ridiculously big bow on my head. I (obviously) wasn’t wearing the right clothes nor did I have my flash on me otherwise I would have stayed until the end. Still, I did my best to follow the crowd after they dispersed from City Hall – those shots coming tomorrow – but it might not have been a terrible thing that I left. Heard that some cameras were stolen, people were hit, lenses were broken, and there were hundreds of arrests including photographers without credentials – like yours truly. Anyways, I hope everyone in Oakland stays safe.
