Looking for a different way to say “Happy Holidays,” “Peace on Earth” or “Happy New Year”? How about sending your friends and loved ones greeting cards with photos from protests that show people carrying signs reading “War on Morons,” “Cure Erectile Dysfunction” and “One Nation Under Debt.” They’re “greeting cards for people who are pissed off” by Al Crespo, a photographer based in Miami who’s been covering protests across the country for a dozen years, but who may be best known for the legal case from the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles that bears his name: Al Crespo v. City of Los Angeles. “I’m the guy that got shot in the head in 2000,” he says.
