Former vice president Al Gore at the podium in Berkeley, California, October 2006.

By the way, the San Francisco Chronicle published a strikingly similar photo in October 2007 but, no, they didn't steal it from me! My other Gore pics are at http://ioriophotosofgore.blogspot.com.

I walked into a mini-riot at an eco-protest in Berkeley, Calif., on September 6, 2008, and shot this picture of it. For the record, the guy on the ground clashed with cops and was tossed around and beaten. (If the bluriness creates a sense of being in the midst of the melee and being jostled, that's because I was!) [photo by Paul Iorio.]

In its original incarnation, this was a terrific photo of a vast field of bright yellow sunflowers in Thrace, in far westernmost Turkey, against a very blue sky, though you wouldn't know it from this scan of my 31-year-old slide. I hope to turn this slide into a photo that I'll then scan and post, but for now this will have to do. Shot by me in westernmost Turkey, near the Bulgarian border, in August 1976, when I was a teenager traveling alone through the region.
