Read the letter sent to BoA

I will see you at the protest
I would like to see EVERYONE there
The actions of the banking industry are a travesty
The control of our houses & currency by the 1% MUST END
It demands a UNIFIED PUBLIC VOICE
It cries for YOUR VOICE as a member of the 99% affected.

Promising Young Model

Tia is one of those rare models that comes along. She is currently enrolled at Youthville in the fashion design program taught by Dana Keaton (Diva Groove).
I've now shot her on runway about a dozen times and in a couple portfolio shoots. She has been listening, following direction, being creative, enjoys shooting both alone and with other models.

Occupy Detroit GA Meeting

The 4th General Assembly for Occupy Detroit was held at Central United Methodist Church. There were a number of items brought forward and approved by the assembly.

One of the most significant was consensus that a 90% majority of votes during a General Assembly would be sufficient to approve by the movement as a whole. There was quite a bit of discussion about the needs and operation of the tent city erected at Grand Circus Park, which has been standing since Friday October 14.

There was also discussion of moving an occupation into one or more empty buildings around Detroit - possibly focusing on those going through foreclosure in a controversial manner.

I'm looking forward to seeing a more comprehensive blog post on the official website - http://Occupy-Detroit.us
