There are some protest pictures here (for at least a week) that are pretty good.

I didn't take the bus in today, but on ECR radio, they are describing a bonfire that people set to keep warm but then the police put it out, and some people shouted at them, but then it sort of dissipated and people went back to listening to the radio. Then a few minutes later, a black bloc set up another bonfire with pieces of newspaper. Pictures will probably come in, but I'm not out there taking them myself this time.

Now they keep breaking in to describe the police vigorously chasing a 'black bloc' in circles around the ANSWER march speakers, with an audience still totalling several hundred, at Justin Herman. I can't figure out the spatial arrangement, but they seem to have enclosed lots of the people with police but aren't arresting anyone. Upload pictures

There were a few pictures of the speakers on the newswire, such as pictures by Z. Channel 5 TV had a good several seconds of a platoon of police running after some hooded people around the ANSWER march at Justin Herman, but the headlines on their site today don't even mention it, and they just have someone's marijuana collection, and the Bush family's misinterpreted devil handsign flap, and they're even talking about spongebob, but the inauguration is off the radar: http://www.kron.com/Global/story.asp?S=2840297

Someone out there was taking pictures, but not me.
