Just to show you, I can take a photo that looks like something with this camera, unlike what you may have surmised from this post and this one. I just need the right lighting, distance, etc. It helps to be right up in the candidate’s face.
You who have followed the blog will recognize this Barack Obama shot as being from our board room (like this and this and this). We met with him early this morning (early for me, anyway), before the rally at the State House.
I’ll post something from that interview tomorrow when I’m back at the office. Right now, I’m going to sign off for a few hours. I’ve got an interview with Air America at 7:30, then I’m going to try to watch the debate. Maybe I’ll post something live; check and see. Maybe I won’t. This is sorta kinda like my day off, you know.
Ah, yes, a camera phone does work if everything is perfect. Mine takes exceptionally good pictures of my fingers, not to mention challenging pictures of nothing particular taken at odd angles (the challenge then becomes, “what the heck was that??”). I’ll look forward to what you have to say about Obama. Meanwhile, I’m so glad McCain won here. I hope he can keep up the wins.
Brad, This isn’t exactly on subject but given the resurfacing flag flap, and the suddent realization of Pitchfork Ben’s less lovable qualities, I’ve got an idea. Why not move the Confederate Flag to Tillman’s statue, and add a plaque explaining Tillman’s legacy? It would still be on the State House grounds (hopefully making McConnell and his friends happy), and would be in lovely context. Somehow, I’ve got a feeling that some would not like this idea, but it seems a possible compromise to me.
Karen, the comprise is complete. There is no longer the impetus to address the flag. We are destined to have the flag flying on the national news every four years with my Connecticut wife cringing and me looking down sheepishly.
I guess Brad missed breakfast high atop the Columbia skyline. Perhaps he had an Egg McMuffin with us in the 3rd estate.
I hope that’s his finger.
