In 2011–2012, I photographed Occupy in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley: the tents, handmade signs, shared meals, conversations, and people who made each camp a community.

Fifteen years later, I’m sharing these photographs as a record of that moment in Bay Area history. These were among 18 Occupy communities I photographed across the United States between October 2011 and May 2012.

You can explore all the photographs by location in my public archive at Flickr. Were you there, or did you stop by any of the camps? I’d be interested to hear what you remember.

Wanted to share this here as not many tickets have sold (like maybe 15%) and I went and saw a production of the Mexican ballet a year and a half ago in Los Angeles and it was really beautiful and I want to support the arts. I want to be clear that I do not work for the venue or production and am not doing any type of formal advertising. I just want to share an upcoming event and invite people to join and appreciate some art!

The Mexican ballet is coming to Oakland and it’s Día de los Muertos themed. I’m including the link below.

There are 2 shows next Sunday October 11 at 2pm and 7pm. I’m not sure if they just haven’t advertised it or what, but there’s not a lot of seats sold and it’s such a beautiful expression of art and culture and deserves to be appreciated by the masses.

If you’re free and interested and able to afford the ticket, please go and invite some friends!

I’m attaching a pic my mom took from when I saw a production in LA. Obviously it will be different because it’s a different production and nonetheless it was beautiful then and I expect it will be beautiful for this show too.
