Obama Photo Essay

Time Magazine photographer Callie Shell, who has been following Obama since 2004, has a fantastic series of photos from the campaign trail:

Obama listens from a back stairwell as he is introduced in Muscatine, Iowa. It was his second or third speech of the day. Unlike many of the politicians I have photographed in the past, I find it is easy to get a photograph of Obama alone. He lets his staff do their jobs and not fuss over him.

I loved that he cleaned up after himself before leaving an ice cream shop in Wapello, Iowa. He didn’t have to. The event was over and the press had left. He is used to taking care of things himself and I think this is one of the qualities that makes Obama different from so many other political candidates I’ve encountered.

How an individual handles the little things matters.

My newest addition to the family, Peep, attempting to learn how to use the Intertubes.

A couple days ago I decided it was time to upgrade my 5 plus year old Nikon digtial camera. I looked at a number of cameras but decded on the Sony Cybershot DSCH10. I had planned on spending more money, but this little thing did everything I needed and then some, plus since I also have a sony laptop I can plug the memory card right in with out carrying around any cables. I am a very happy camper.

While on vacation I got to relax, read about non-work related stuff, and visit my favorite aunt. She just got a new puppy and it is about the cutest think I’ve ever seen, and I am a cat guy.
