Photo A Day: Occupy Columbus

"Occupy Cbus" (2011)

Today’s image was taken yesterday, at Day 1 of Occupy Columbus. Protesters from the group assembled on the sidewalk outside of the State House downtown to air their grievances about current government. There were a wide variety of signs there that ranged from political to nonsensical — my favorite was “I have a watermelon.”

I’m not sure what I think of the whole Occupy Movement, but while I was there to photograph the event, I noticed the reflection of the state house in the skyscraper on the opposite side of Broad St. It was a great image, even without context. With the protestors and the reflection of a state building off of a corporate building, it’s just too interesting to walk away from.
