Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of photons and neutral pions about mid-rapidity are presented for Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN} = 130 GeV. Photon pair conversions have been reconstructed from charged tracks measured with the central Time Projection Chamber (TPC) of STAR. Contributions of the pi^0 -> \gamma\gamma decay in the inclusive photon spectra have been studied. It was found that this contribution begins to decrease at a transverse momentum of 1.65 GeV/c in the top 11% most central centrality class.
