Yeltsin walks to Parliament, Ottawa, 1992

Russian president Boris Yeltsin visited Ottawa in 1992 - he laid a wreath at the war memorial and then was going to parliament by motorcade - he looked up and saw that it was only a block or so away and decided on the spot to walk there instead of going by car. So of course panic ensued as the security people formed  a perimeter around him. One photo I really missed was the look on the face of people on a municipal bus as they looked down and saw Yeltsin standing right in front of them and waving.

 Walking past the Governor-General's Foot Guards

 Hey, it's a nice day. Forget the car, let's walk! Security guys race ahead.

Panic ensues!

Geraldine Ferraro, first female candidate for US Vice-president

First female US vice-presidential candidate from a major party. Nice enough to pose for my Mamiya C220 in Massena, New York in 1992.

 Anti abortion protesters

I don't have my notes for this, but I think she was campaigning for Clinton - I don't think she said anything about abortion here, but the demonstrators were picketing her anyway.
