I have always been fascinated by halloween. Some of you may remember a series I did this time last year on Halloween.

I wanted to see how the people of the Occupy movement were celebrating. Surpassingly, most protestors were not in costume. But as one occupier pointed out, “Most of us are in costume every day!”

You can see more Occupy DC portraits here.

I spent this past Saturday night in McPherson Square, Washington, DC. Like New York and so many other cities around the world, DC is being ‘Occupied.’ What ties the protests together is a general feeling of discontent, and a feeling that these protests could be the force that spurs change. I must admit, after spending the better part of a night with these dedicated people, I am inclined to believe that change is coming.

This post is the first of what I expect to be a series of posts. I intend to go back.

Be sure to check the cut lines, some of my subjects had quite interesting stories.
