Video: Occupy L.A Protester and TIME Cover Girl Sarah Mason

Reader Vincent Precht sent the accompanying video, which features a shot of Sarah Mason.

Earlier this week brought you news of the TIME "Person of the Year" cover, which featured 25-year-old Sarah Mason.

A Highland, California resident, Sarah worked at a Westside photo gallery and spent many nights at Occupy L.A. during its tenure.

Local freelance photographer Ted Soqui took photos of Sarah on Nov. 17 at a downtown Bank of America where many were arrested in a National Day of Action.

One of those images inspired Echo Park's Shepard Fairey, who crafted the TIME cover.

The attached video has another shot of Sarah, taken by Vincent Precht, who found it after going back through the video he shot that day.

Will other images of Sarah emerge? Share them here.

This is Sarah, being articulate about her arrest along with other occupiers. Hopefully everyone will leave her alone now. I'm quite sure she doesn't want to be "the voice of the movement", just one of many voices.
