Inside Out update: big stuff this week [View all]

The young team in Oakland worked in the rain past midnight this week to erect more portraits in preparation for Oakland's Art Murmur event. Pictures like the large one taken at night were possible because neighbors and onlookers provided car lights and construction lights so that the work could continue. This is good, BIG stuff. This is commitment, dedication, passion. A lot of people will see it.

On the Thom Hartmann show this morning, it was said that the American public doesn't relate to the Occupy news and common perception, but that it relates to the STORY and the message. This project tells the story, powerfully and in a way that leaves it to the viewer to interpret, conclude, evaluate. It doesn't tell you what to think about the images.

The group is unpaid and expenditures come from digging deep for money they can't really afford to spend. Time for funding the continuing project is short. SUPPORT them and the project at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/insideoutoccupy/inside-out-occupy-oakland
