From the camera of Lefteris Pitarakis comes a chronicle of a year of violence and pain in the Middle East. Pitarakis, an Associated Press news photographer from Greece, has documented the Palestinian intifada against Israeli occupation that erupted on Sept. 30, 2000, and Israel's response. The galleries capture the human dimension on both sides of an enduring conflict. Pitarakis's comments illuminate the circumstances in which he took his photographs.
