I made a conscious effort to photograph more of my life this summer in St. Petersburg. I also mapped where I went for fun and to report. It’s nice now to have a record of what I did.

I took photos at the Obama/Biden rally in Greensboro in between Tweeting. I’m trying to photograph more so I feel more comfortable with it.

The campaign set up risers for press to Obama’s right and straight ahead. The DTH didn’t get riser space, but were among the many who were allowed up in shifts. In general, it was more of a hassle up on the platform, because volunteers kept yelling different things about who was/wasn’t allowed up there, and TV cameras, poles and people got in the way. Although on the ground I wasn’t really tall enough to shoot Obama through the crowd. I moved around a lot trying to get pictures, but most didn’t turn out the way I wanted them to.

My favorite picture I took Saturday is actually this one of a boy watching the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University drumline:
