Austin's City Hall where the Occupy movement is currently located. The participants had initially been in this section, until the Police had requested they move to a different area while this was power-washed. When the participants tried to return, they were denied access to this area.
An unidentified 'reader', who with frequency called out "Mike Check" to garner attention, then read various articles published on other occupy movements around the country and world.
Larry, and his six month old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. Larry said he was more focused on local issues than the entire Occupy movement and was using this venue as his platform for local change.
A recent sign addition to the protest area encampment. A city ordinance might allegedly have been violated in the capture of this image.
When Occupy participants were asked questions they could not adequately answer, those asking were directed to the information and welcome booth. A variety of pamphlets were available for review.
This participant identified herself as Brithe (pronounced Bree). She was quite vocal and active during the afternoon.
The Austin Police department continued their presence periodically. Just around the corner were two paddy wagons.
This participant identified himself as Larry. He said he worked at the local VA facility as confirmed by his photo ID badge. Also, he's sporting new ink related to his belief in the Occupy movement.
This participant identified himself as "Billy Jack" and would not confirm or deny his participation in the military. He did however request to wave the flag for a period of time.
This image, combined with the information booth represents the total Occupy movement this afternoon. Based on other reports from around the country, Austin appears to be quite small by comparison.
