Contributing photographer Mark Feenstra paid a visit to the #OccupyVancouver core to take in situ portraits of a cross section of its participants. “I wasn’t content with the increasing number of photos of funny signs, strange costumes, and radical behaviour I kept seeing captured by a lot of the photographers visiting the various Occupy protests,” he says. “A movement like this is about people more than it is about signs and masks, and hopefully the 26 portraits in this series represent a picture of the ethnic, financial, and age demographics that felt it necessary to make the trip downtown in support of something they believe in.” Well done Mark! If you’ve been down there with your camera (or are planning to do so), we’d love to see your shots submitted to our Flickr Pool.
