Mr. President

Ok here is the story. On Thursday I got a call from Mi Gente magazine to shoot Barack Obama's campaign stop in Eugene on Friday! I was SO excited! First, how often do you get to take pictures of someone who will likely be the President of the United States? And second, I really believe in Barack Obama, and he is who I will be voting for in this election.

Anyway, it was an amazing event. I got to work around the other media. At one point I could have shook his hand but I decided to keep taking pictures instead... It was AWESOME!

My pictures will be featured on the cover of Mi Gente, which is a Spanish language magazine that circulates quarterly throughout Oregon. All I can say is that it was an honor.
