I try to stop by to photograph Occupy Philly just about every day.

This is the Swarthmore College, near Philadelphia, where I teach Peace and Conflict Journalism and advise the students who produce our weekly public radio program, War News Radio, housed in the building above. The campus shares the same boundaries of the Scott Arboretum.
