November 15, 2011 – Seattle, WA – (Below) An Occupy Seattle protestor cries as she sits on the back of an ambulance after police sprayed her with pepper spray and pushed her backward with their bicycles. At least 150 Occupy Seattle protestors marched through downtown Seattle, stopped traffic, and clashed with dozens of police officers. They marched to support the Occupy Wall Street protestors who were cleared out of Zuccotti Park this morning in New York.

Late Saturday night and throughout Sunday, police squared off with Occupy Portland protestors while attempting to enforce Mayor Sam Adams’ 12:01 a.m. Sunday deadline for protestors to vacate the two downtown parks they have occupied since early October. Approximately 5,000 people showed up to defy the mayor’s orders, overwhelming police until Sunday afternoon when police were able to clear the parks and dismantle tents and other structures. Police arrested at least 50, used pepper spray on at least one person, but largely the protestors were nonviolent. Police, mounted on horses, charged the crowd on one occasion in an attempt to break up the thousands of people that had filled downtown streets and blocked traffic. A protestor who was later arrested threw a firework at the mounted police, startling their horses amidst the chaos and causing one officer to be lightly injured.

Wednesday was a chilly and rainy November evening but hundreds of Occupy Seattle protestors showed up to show opposition to Jamie Dimon’s visit to the Seattle Sheraton hotel, where he was speaking to the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business. Dimon is the CEO of JPMorgan Chase. Police showed up in force, with rubber bullets, paintballs and riot gear at the ready, but they only used pepper spray sporadically on the protestors. See some of my photographs below …

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Breaking Barriers | Seattle Photographer

Diversity, Multimedia, My work, Other people's work, Published work, Still photography, UW Bothell, Video

I’m working with the Diversity Recruitment & Outreach team at UW Bothell again, this time to document a special project at McKnight Middle School in Renton, Washington. UW Bothell student volunteers are spending time with the middle school students each week to build leadership and communication skills as well as self and cultural awareness. The volunteers are also facilitating conversations about how McKnight Middle School can better serve these students and set them up for success in college and beyond. The middle school student group consists of mostly African American and Latino young men, which are largely underrepresented groups on college campuses. Programs like this one can hopefully change that. It really is a remarkable program.

At the end of the year we will be producing a short documentary film that explains what we were able to accomplish. In the meantime, you can watch the first video installment of a series of updates about this outreach work. I am doing some of the filming, taking photographs, and most importantly mentoring a UW Bothell senior, Amen Mengesha, who is the director of the project. He is a media production star of the future, so be sure to watch that first video installment here, or below, to see what he created. I’ve included some of my photographs from week two below.
