Oh, bama.

Obama held a town hall meeting in Chesapeake, Va. yesterday. Whenever I shoot political rallies I wonder if I could handle the political circuit full time. Security was then tightest I've seen so far (i got molested by the bomb-sniffing dog more than once) Got to shoot alongside Jim Young of Reuters as well as a few other familiar faces who rotate in and out of the WH press pool. Good folks. Compared to the vibe of the last two Hillary Clinton rallies I shot, this one seemed pretty subdued. With the type of questions the crowd asked Senator Obama, it seemed like they thought he was already President. Thanks for looking.

Winding down

Last week of my internship. It has been a great learning experience, though I can't help but wonder what summer would have been like interning at a daily newspaper somewhere. Either way, here are some images i've been making after work and on the weekend. Thanks for looking:

Warped Tour 2008






Had a good time at Warped shooting for Alternative Press magazine. The lineup was weaker than past years, but it was a fun experience nonetheless.

Ron Paul Rally

After a pretty tough week in the office, it was good to get out and shoot. I did get to shoot a little on Wednesday, but my best frames didn't make past the editors in media affairs. I guess 2 photos on Whitehouse.gov is better than none though.

These frames are from the Ron Paul Revolution march on the Capitol in Washington, DC. It was pretty good times, but a little discouraging not to see any major media covering the event. I guess it was good practice though. There wasn't as much action as your typical anti-war march, but plenty of bush-haters in the crowd nonetheless.




This was close to being my favorite frame of the day. I wish I had framed the rotunda between their shoulders, but wasn't able to scoot left at the time.

The stage setup was pretty sketchy to say the least, so I tried to work with the ugly metal scaffolding that marred all my pictures taken amongst the sweaty Ron Paul supporters.

On the way home I saw this lady wearing a mask. Gotta love the Metro.
