Are there ANY shots out there of our new President Elect?! Jeez wasn't anyone out there in Chicago or that has any captivating images of him?

If so lets see em'

Are you by any chance the AD that wanted me to dump all my images in your lap, *possibly buying a few shots?

Ha!

Ok I'll bite. I'm a freelancer from Iowa so I did a lot of political coverage over the past two years.

This picture is from February 10, 2007 - the day he officially announced he was running. He had a big event in Springfield, IL and then came here to Iowa.

You beat me to it. I wanted to start this topic. Here is my campaign ad. He mentioned bringing a puppy in the White House, right?

Back from when he was campaigning in Colorado.

Nice here we GO! And no I'm not going to steal your images haha! Im just so hopeful about things to come and I'm also sick of seeing SH$TTY images in the paper and on the news. I know where the real talent lies...

Awesome shots. Which one are you in the big group?

June 12, 2007 Senator Barack Obama was campaigning here in Los Angeles. I work from home and at the time my son was three months old. My wife ran out to do an errand and she called me five minutes later. She had mentoned that there was a TON of media at the gas station across the street from our house. We had figured the Seantor Obama was making a campaign stop to perhaps talk about alternative energy considering the gas station sells ethanol. I grabbed my three month old son, strapped him to my chest in the Baby Bjorn and grabbed my camera. Sure enough there was media everywhere, and security was tight. Nobody was saying who was coming, or why. Senator Obama showed up and I was able to snap a bunch of pictures from about fifty feet or so. I figured if I had the opportunity to get within earshot, and away from the crowd he would hold my son. What politician would not want to hold a baby. I scouted the area and noticed a waist height wall by wear his caravan of SUV's were. *Yes he was talking about alternative energies yet he showed up in a caravan of six SUV's* Anyway, I made it over to the wall and after he finished speaking as he started to enter the vehicle I lifted my son in the air and said, "Senator Obama my three month old son wants me to vote for you!!!!!!!!" He stopped in his tracks, exited the vehicle, walked over and exclaimed, "A baby!!!!" He asked if he could hold my son, which of course I obliged...and wek chatted for a couple of minutes. I asked if I could talk a picture and he said yes. The rest is history:



on the flip side we ran into the daughter of another democrat candidate and we had her hold my son...our democratic choice was sealed as you can see the reaction on my sons face:

lol, thats great stuff Noelty!
