#OccupyAtlanta: Faces of the Occupation

Following a meeting with local Clergy and the Occupy Atlanta Media group, Tim Franzen and I worked our way down to the next floor for a brief interview about his roll in the Movement. He led me to his office and we swapped introductions. I smiled slyly as I noticed the various propaganda on the wall and cushions in the corner with a pillow and blanket, where I imagine Franzen had spent many nights since the start of the Occupation.

We hadn't really met until now and certainly I was more familiar with him and than he was of me, so I gave him a brief introduction and flipped on the camera.

I don't know that I had any expectations. The Atlanta Journal Constitution [AJC] has presented Tim Franzen as a brazened character who's comments were purposely defiant against anyone who differed from him.

Yet most of the people I had spoken to throughout the camp, up to this point, were generally good hearted people looking for a change - and most revere Tim as someone who really cares about their well-being and the cause. 


Here is some of our Interview...
