  We present the first positive direct photon results in Au+Au at sqrt{s_NN} =
200 GeV along with initial p+p results at the same energy. The p+p result is
found to be consistent with NLO perturbative QCD predictions within its large
uncertainties. In central Au+Au collisions, an excess over expected background
as large as 200-300% is observed from p_T = 4-12 GeV/c. This large signal is
shown to be consistent with the scaled pQCD photon prediction, together with
suppression of meson background sources.
