When I first started photographing Portland's Occupy encampment in the fall of 2011, I was surprised at the diversity within the movement. It reflects the 99% in America who are in dire need of serious change.
I met a lot of great people who really care about our world and are willing to put themselves on the line to affect changes.
After attending several marches and actions, I saw how the media misrepresented or under-reported what actually happened and how the truth was not being told. This humble site is my way of helping spread the voices of the 99%. They are all ages, of many ethnicities and are dedicated to making our world a humane place to live. You may be surprised at who they are and what they have to say.
Due to the recent NDAA law and keeping in the spirit of anonymity, no names will be given.

About the images: all are shot on medium format, black and white film using a 1960's era Hasselblad camera. Film is developed by the photographer.
