China - Tiananmen Square

Each day, hundreds of thousands of tourists mainly from China visit this historic and infamous location. YouTube Tiananmen Square to see some of the videos from the youth uprising in 1989. Now, months before the 2008 Olympics, there are many layers of security including hundreds of security cameras as well as police and military that monitor everything and everyone.

China

Here are a couple of pics from China. 13 plus hour flight was fine, the food is ok, the air is heavy and polluted, the sky is grey. We have not seen the sun yet. Beijing is big and not attractive.

Naw-Ruz at the White House

A traditional Haft Sin table celebrating Nowruz, the Persian New Year, is seen set on Wednesday, March 19, 2008, in the State Dining Room of the White House. Nowruz is, in Persian and some other cultures, including Kurdish culture, a family-oriented holiday celebrating the New Year and the coming of spring. The Haft Sin table has seven items symbolizing new life, joy, love, beauty and health, sunrise, patience and garlic to ward off evil.

VII one of the top leading photojournalism agencies has now moved to Brooklyn and opened up a bookstore/gallery in DUMBO.

McCain in NYC

I shot these on Monday as John McCain made his way through NYC. It was nice to see them at home.
Today is Super Tuesday, I am almost sure McCain will be the nominated candidate for the GOP.
