A Global, Legitimate and very Sexy Threat: BIG Revolutionary Slide Show!
The International Business Times has called the Occupy Movement “global in nature” and a “legitimate threat.” It is that. It is also a feast of photography, and the first world-wide movement supported by the new communication technologies that fueled the Arab Spring. Gil Scott Heron was right. The revolution will not be televised. But…it will be tweeted.

Theft at the Eureka Valley Branch of San Francisco Library: Harvey Milk Plaque stolen!
According to The Bay Area Reporter and other news sources, a plaque of the late gay political icon has been lifted from its home in front of the Eureka Valley branch of the San Francisco Public Library. Photographer Daniel Nicoletta, who came up as a youth working in Harvey’s Castro Camera store and on his campaigns, suspects a motive beyond mere profit. He told the B.A.R. “It definitely stinks of a political message to me. It’s not just some random vandalism by people hanging out in that plaza.”

The Occupy Wall Street movement is spreading globally and regionally. Small college towns across the United States demonstrate contrasting responses. Protesters in Carbondale, Illinois have been huddling under a model of Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome on the campus of Southern Illinois University. Campus police are considering removing the dome. According to Freshman Derrick Burns: “We had about 20 tents set up. Now look – zero, it’s a shame.” Read more and see video here.

San Francisco Sunrise
Thursday morning, a Mission sunrise shot from my pre-dawn commute.
As one of my friends remarked when she saw this picture, one of the few perks of starting work early is getting to see the sun rise.
