From “The Occupiers,” a photo series by Eddie McShane.   He writes: “I wanted  to see who these people were so I decided to set  up a portable studio  and make formal portraits. What I learned is that  these people are not  whackos, anarchists, or indigents. They are  overwhelmingly working and  middle class people of all backgrounds who  feel that their government  has failed them and does not represent their  interests… They just want the basic promise of  America; that  everyone has a fair chance to live with opportunity and  dignity.”  You can view the complete set of photos from this series here.
