Capturing Motion
Motions: Stillness, smile, laugh, cry and movement are some of our daily journey in life. We walk, run and sit amongst the living and the dead. A vast world we live in is ours for a time. I capturing as much of these motions through photography. This is my crossing: A moment behind the lens. Zerina Phillip
WEAPON OF BLACK DESTRUCTION…
I am young, black and 17
I am Trayvon Martin….
I am Trayvon Martin….
My crime is…
Wearing a weapon of black destruction.
We are young and black…
We are Trayvon his sisters.
We are elders…
We are glad to be TRAYVON’s Grandmothers.

May Day 2012…The Fight Is On
Many people believed that Occupy Wall Street in a bunch of people that don’t have anything better to do, but cause trouble, but this is not true. I have been following the Occupy Wall Street Movement for the past seven months. What I see its outstanding. From this movement other movements was formed. Occupy Department of Education, the constants struggle to save public schools. Occupy Health Care, Stop & Frisk and Challenge of Mass Incarceration in America.
Unions, Artists, Musicians, Students, Labor Workers, Teachers, Student and much more. The fight against racism and discrimination. Finally the human mind id being unplug and we are thinking outside the box, but co operations and heads of government don’t like this, not one bit of it.

WE ARE THE 99%
WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD!!!
Pages In The Wind
The pages flip rapidly by the hands of the unknown
In addition, gently slow down.
A number of pages were visible
From the soft light from Zuccotti Park
Genesis 31:27…
“Why did you flee away“?
Did I flee?
I asked myself,
However, before I can think of an answer the pages
Tossed over and back…
Over and back.
The wind ceased
Again, I read…
Genesis 43:35…
“Then it happen, as they emptied their sacks“.
I look around,
My heart felt happy
Because a multitude of people
Were given a nourishing meal
By the Occupy Wall Street movement.
This torn bible left behind by some one
Was not an accident
But a fulfillment to see life through the pages a book
Written thousand of years ago.
Still applied in the present and future.
Genesis 18:4 …
“The Lord said to Moses,
Behold I would rain bread from heaven for you”.
The occupiers was merrily eating a healthy meal
With bread and other dainties.

OCCUPY, OCCUPATION…words of 2011 and taking us into a NEW YEAR.
On the evening of December 29, 2011 over a hundred people of came out in support and to take action of Indigenous People-People for whom occupation has not been a choice, but a lived experience of oppression.
The Occupation of Wall Street is an occupation of already occupied land. This gathering marked the 121 anniversary of the genocide at Wounded Knee. This gathering raise awareness of an ongoing Native struggles.
The uprising of the Peoples Movement (Occupy Wall Street) began on September 17, 2011. Indigenous Peoples and people who stand for justice, equality, love and a right to live together, broke down the racial barrier which has cause us to live hostile amongst one another. The time has come to “RETHINK”; a new history is in the making. It is time to take action.
In the year 1653 at Wall Street, (Manhattan) the Dutch settler colonists command enslaved Africans to erect a wall across lower Manhattan in Order to “PROTECT” their occupation from the land’s original inhabitants.
