And I had only a noisy G9 point-and-shoot; without an assignment, I wasn't sure how tough security would be (not bad, actually). But what a place to be! Thanks for giving us the view from down front, sir.Jim Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683080542214678670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-21677525139006879522008-11-09T21:12:00.000-05:002008-11-09T21:12:00.000-05:00Just stop parking in my spot!Wps - fab piece.

I work for a small town paper part time and took a day off school (which I do full time) and cleared it with all of my professors and went down at 5:00am to try and make it on time to get in line. <BR/><BR/>I know the feeling, I was in the press area and having to use my telephoto, and photographing amoung guys that worked for GQ (I over heard them) at our future president's rally was simply amazing.<BR/><BR/>I love the way you look at your photography and your stories are amazing.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303793848572930766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-91855437827940225782008-11-08T11:15:00.000-05:002008-11-08T11:15:00.000-05:00"the emotion of the moment was so much stronger th..."the emotion of the moment was so much stronger than the pictures we took.

This election was magical because we all now feel connected to each other. Like you, I was afraid to even think about a true victory. But, they failed to scare us; steal votes; and finally deny us our moment. God Bless America.
