There is a place not far from here called the Heartland, USA. Even though NYC boasts one of the most diverse populations in the world, not but an hour away is a place with blond skinny soccer Moms, boy scouts and soccer players.  Everyone is wearing red, white and blue.  When they celebrate Memorial Day in Bernardsville, NJ, they are very earnest, listening to the bible, reciting the pledge of allegiance, marching down mainstreet and honoring their veterans.

……and now for something completely different……a fashion shoot with kids.

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Dumbo Brooklyn…….

It’s actually not easy to photograph kids, to find that space in between too cute, too corny, too done and too adult.

Occupy’s event in Times Square dubbed a “Global Day of Action” was much dampened by the rain. Despite over 600 Facebook RSVPs, there were maybe 200 people at it’s height, with no arrests. Most people seemed preoccupied by leaving for Chicago for the #NoNATO protests, dealing with housing issues or planning for future big days. I heard much hope for the coming September 17th, called Black Monday, an action planned to bring to NYC other Occupy organizations from different cities in the US.
