I had a few conversations with people who thought the #OccupyWallStreet protests were (a) a flop because crowds were too small, or (b) just a bunch of freaky punk kids in masks. Both are understandable positions given the usual "march & go home" protests and the tendency to photograph and share the most provocative images.
This collection of images captures was gathered to dispute both positions. The first set shows the duration of the crowd sizes, through day and night, from 9/17 to 9/20. The second set adds some face-shots protestors which are slightly more representative (and "normal") than four guys in Guy Fox masks.
