    I have put them up rather quickly so if you have any questions about the (not great) organization or what's what, please contact me. All my photos are available for re-publishing with attribution.

    Many other photographers have worked in this region recently, check links to their work from my Flickr.

    SAMPLE LETTER

    Please contact local politicians in the Bay Area, California politicians, your local politicians and publications to let them know putting civilian journalists in jail is not ok — particularly, if you are a US citizen, in countries we give large aid packages to.
