She took a chance on me in 2011.
Happy New Year, friends.

I heard the boy’s dad say, “It feels like we’re in Paris or something.” He was right. I dropped a buck in the accordion player’s bag, stepped back, and looked around.
The boy was transfixed for about 90 seconds. I couldn’t tell if we was more interested in the music, the motions of the accordion, or the ragged and young guy standing partly in the rain. I think we both wondered if he was as happy as he looked playing that accordion.
I know it sure made the touristy market feel a few musical notes warmer.

Everyone was watching fish flying through the market, but not this guy. He was overlooking the waters of Seattle while a steady drizzle splat on the tiles beneath him. I hurried over to the entrance of this balcony and took a couple of frames. The man was transfixed by the slow moving cruise ship. He soon left and I found myself taking his place.
Seattle, WA: 2011.

My wife Anna keeps telling me to follow my dreams in pursuing a career in photography. She just upped the ante with this Christmas gift.
I can’t emphasize how fortunate I’ve been in my life to have people that support my shit. From my lower-middle-class parents saying yes to my education, studies abroad, and constant moving across the country (this was killer for my Mexican mama), to my wife constantly saying, “you can do anything.” And to my amigos/as who contribute to my inspiration year in and year out. Thanks. I hope to capture some beautiful images soon. Tulum, Burma (possibly!), and NYC are all planned this year.
Right now, it is a nice little walk throughout Bellingham, WA with my bad ass new tool. Baby, it is rockin’ outside.
Feliz Navidad.

A protester handed President Barack Obama a note while shaking hands along a rope line in New Hampshire today. Photographer Charlie Dharapak smartly zoomed in so you can read the note for yourself.
“Banks got bailed out. We got sold out.”
Dhaparak likely had to move, slightly to the left, to get that shot. Which means the President must have held it up long enough to read it.
President Obama, please don’t ignore this anymore. Police brutality is police brutality. Speak out against it.
Please.
What would Occupiers want, hypothetically, for the President to do immediately to help?

From Seattle PI:
Seattle activist Dorli Rainey, 84, reacts after being hit with pepper spray during an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at Westlake Park. Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College in support of Occupy Wall Street. Many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police. Police then began spraying pepper spray into the gathered crowd hitting dozens of people. A pregnant woman was taken from the melee in an ambulance after being struck with spray. Photo: JOSHUA TRUJILLO / SEATTLEPI.COM

Washington Post Photo Editor Weighs In On Kitten Petting Police Officer
“When I was looking at the Tuesday wire service photographs from the Oakland City Hall grounds, the violent protest images were not in the mix because that confrontation had not yet occurred. The late-night, violent protest was in response to the Tuesday eviction by the Oakland police. Even though the story, written later in the evening, included information about the arrests and tear gas, no news images had moved by our production deadline, probably because Oakland is on Pacific time—a three-hour difference. The photograph was chosen because it was a visual “moment” in time showing a police officer doing something interesting—not just walking through tents and trash. The wire service images that moved overnight and this morning offer a much different look at last night’s protest.”

Portraits from Occupy Wall Street
David Hamilton, student, Queens, New York. “I hope, at the end of it, that there is a better sense of fairness across the board.”
Last week, Martin Schoeller photographed Occupy Wall Street protesters at Zuccotti Park.

Occupy Wall Street protesters spent Thursday night scrubbing and sweeping Liberty Plaza (Zuccotti Park), in an effort to avoid a pending eviction from the parks owners brought under the guise of bringing sanitation workers to clean up the park.
The eviction notice was postponed. 15 arrests were made. And Occupy Wall Street seems to live another day.
