Below: ‘Occupy Seattle’ protestors are pictured at a warehouse they took over in Seattle, Washington on Friday, December 2, 2012. Approximately 75 protestors entered the warehouse and barricaded most entrances, just hours after a judge ruled that Seattle Central Community College may evict the group’s encampment, which had moved to the college a month ago after leaving Westlake Park in downtown Seattle. The warehouse is three blocks from the college.

(Below) Seattle, Washington – November 26, 2011 — Workers clear broken windows at a vandalized U.S. Bank branch in Seattle, Washington on Saturday. Vandals broke nearly every window at the north Seattle bank early Saturday morning and left a spray-painted message that read “revenge for Occupy Oakland.” The damage is estimated in the tens of thousands.

Today Occupy Seattle protestors joined up with protestors from Occupy movements in Bellingham, Everett, Tacoma and other cities to stage a Black Friday protest at Wal-Mart in Renton, Washington. There were a lot of Seattle photographers there but not too many members of the media, which sometimes does happen at these kinds of events. I shot some images on the iPhone using the Hipstamatic app and I also shot pictures with my usual workhorse camera, the Canon 5D mark II. See some of my Occupy Seattle Wal-Mart protest pictures below:

Watching the Windermere Cup 2011 crew races on the Montlake Cut at the University of Washington. There were tons of dogs and families out this year enjoying the sun and the race festivities. The Husky men and women cleaned up, winning by almost too much in their races against opponents like Cambridge and Stanford.
This is another from the “Healing a River” project I have been working on for almost a year now. In this image, two women unload crabs they caught in the Duwamish River. Signs nearby warn that no shellfish from these waters, including crabs, are fit for human consumption. They women claimed the signs were old and explained to me that they had been feeding crabs like these to their families for years. The mother and daughter, immigrants from the Philippines, now live in Federal Way and make the trip often to go crabbing in the toxic waters of the Duwamish.
This is from a long term project I’ve been working on about healing Seattle’s Duwamish River. It’s incredibly polluted but multiple local groups are organizing to clean up and revitalize the river. This picture is from a group that meets regularly to pray and energetically heal the river using various spiritual practices, including Johrei.
