Olympic Torch Relay

I was going to head to San Francisco to take pictures of the Olympic Torch's only North America stop, but things are looking a little crazy right now. It's packed along the route with protesters and supporters, Coast Guards, barricades and hundreds of police in riot gear. Even if I were to go, I probably wouldn't be able to see anything. They're talking about cutting the route short by a few miles or even canceling it all together, depending on how chaotic it gets. I might still head out there, but don't hold your breath.

*Updated - They completely altered the route, leaving thousands of demonstrators and spectators who came from different parts of the world, disappointed as they waited to catch a glimpse of the torch run. The closing ceremony at the Embarcadero was also canceled. I ended up watching the entire coverage on the news. There are some great photos on the web. I would've loved to been out there, but honestly, I didn't want to be stuck in the middle if a riot broke out.
