Yesterday I attended Barack Obama’s rally in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. So did Bruce Springsteen. That was excellent. It was incredible to see the city come to together behind one man in support of change, betterment, and being excellent to each other.
Out of over 300 photos from that day, I’ve chosen 38 to publish. Most of the shots of Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen were taken blind, over my head. There were numerous spotlights behind the stage intent on destroying my photographs. And it eventually rained for a bit. Oh, and there were two sniper teams. As a complete amateur, this was the most physically challenging shoot I’ve done to date. I’ve already published the whole set to Flickr, and I plan to post my favorite photos here over time. But for the full experience, I recommend watching the slideshow.
“We can choose hope over fear. And unity over division. The promise of change over the power of the status quo. We can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history. That’s what is safe. That’s what we’re fighting for. And if in this last week you’ll knock on some doors for me, and make some calls for me, and talk to your neighbors, and convince your friends. If you’ll stand with me and fight with me and give me your vote, then I promise you we will win this general election, and together we will change this country and we will change the world. God bless you. God bless The United States of America. Let’s get to work.”
