   You are so lucky! I’m so jealous. Barack Obama is so amazing to listen to. I’m currently listening to “The Audacity of Hope” at work, and I always feel so inspired! Great shots, I can’t wait to see more!

   Amazing shots! My 4 and 6 year old are even excited over Obama. And you are definitely “press” caliber. Congrats!

   My friend got a job (she leaves Sunday) to work on the Obama Campaign! She goes to Denver for training, then will get sent to a swing state and if he wins, she goes to Washington.

   It must have been amazing! I have never been so inspired by a presidential candidate. Normally I’m cynical and pissed off about the whole thing, but for the first time in my life, I actually think that an election will change the course of this country.

    Wow!!!!!!! To be so close. And what a picture. It’s wonderful! Is it just me, or is he showing more silver? Maybe he already had it but is letting it show so he looks older, for those people who think he’s too young.

    That is just TOO FREAKING AWESOME for words! I thought of you when they mentioned that he was swinging by NM, and wondered if you’d be off to see him. I guess you were! SO LUCKY! And as usual, the photos are fantastic!

    Well, you have got it goin’ ON, girl. What a thrill and a privilege to be in that position, literally and figuratively. I am mighty pleased to see the reaction to your shots and have more and more hope that those of us who have had enough of what has gone on for the last 8 years can rise up and have our say. As I said in my blog, it is up to those people who have never voted or who have been complacent to change things. Yes people, the man DOES have a few gray hairs and will have a lot MORE after taking on this job for awhile. I want a SMART president!!!

    What a momentous experience. When he came to Boise I was within eight feet of the man. I was blown away by his gentle yet powerful spirit. Your shots are awesome!

    That head and shoulders shot with the sky as background is stunning! Someone needs to pay you for that one and use it in a very high profile way.
