Yes we can.

I had a football coach who always used to pose the question, "Do great players make great plays, or do great plays make great players?" Coach Schefstrom would then pontificate on how in the decisive moments of a football game, great players would rise up and get the job done. They'd make the tackle on 4th and 2 to stop a drive. They'd convert a 3rd and ten to keep a drive alive. Perhaps they weren't the best players, or the most valuable players, but great players have a knack for coming through when everything is one the line. I still don't know the answer to that question, but I think we are at a moment in American history where a man and a nation can prove their greatness. Five days from now we will have a new president, a chance to start over and to take our country in a new direction. As a nation we're down by 6 with one minute left and it's 3rd and ten. It will be interesting to see if President Obama can stand with Washington, Kennedy, FDR, and others who at dire times rose to greatness. For the sake of all of us I hope so.

Here is the spread for Mi Gente Magazine that was produced from the pictures I shot of Obama on a campaign trip through Eugene. (I hope you've brushed up on your Spanish) Si Se Puede!
