Police raid on Occupy Denver camp, Oct 29:

“In the most violent Saturday in more than a month of Occupy Denver demonstrations and marches, Denver police fired mace and pepper balls at a crowd of protesters in Civic Center today and arrested 20 people.

[…]Just before 6 p.m., with ambulances waiting and police cruisers covering whole blocks around the park, officers donned gas masks and used megaphones to warn protesters the remaining tents were illegal. Wielding long batons, a few dozen officers pushed into the park and formed a circle around the tents.

[…]More officers were able to move in after several rounds of pepper spray and one round of pepper balls were fired.”

“Below is my final set of photography work as a student. These last few months as a college student have been so bitter-sweet, I can’t make up my mind if I’m excited or sad about graduation. I guess both.

This project is a series of self portraits exploring who I am, both as an American and as an Iranian, through photographs. It has always been a struggle for me to explain myself, who I truly am, and how I should or shouldn’t act in given situations. I feel that maybe these photographs will answer some questions. Questions people might have, or even questions I have for myself as a person who has lived with two cultures her whole life. Sometimes I feel confused, proud, and sometimes even awkward about how to simply deal with the differences of the two parts that make me.

In each image I’ve incorporated myself twice, once as the Iranian and once as the American. In some of my images I see conflict and in some I see peace and calm with my two selves. This exploration is a growing one and much more work will follow this blog post.

I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to comment. I always enjoy your feedback.”

Sex is used so often every day in the media. I mean, we use it to sell sneakers. And microwave meals. And at the same time we’re taught to kind of keep to ourselves… There’s this weird thing where we’re allowed to be sexy, but we’re not allowed to be sexual. So to me, it’s a veil of safety. So it’s okay to show your tits but it’s not okay to talk about what your kinks are when you’re a woman.
