One of the up sides to life in New Hampshire - for a photographer, anyway - is that no matter who ends up becoming president, you are almost certain to have a few photos of them by the time it happens. When candidates were visiting in anticipation of the "first in the nation" primaries over a year ago, I of course kept my camera by my side the whole time. Today, Barack Obama has officially been sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Here are two of my favorite images from his time in the Granite State.The black and white image was made during Obama's speech in Nashua after the NH Primary on January 8, 2008. I love taking non-traditional portraits like this.
I took this one while then-candidate Obama fielded questions from primary voters in Manchester, NH during the summer of 2007.
The grainy look and blown out highlights in the first one give such a sense of freezing history - fantastic. I won't be predictable and say it's like a JFK image - I'll say it's like an RFK image ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff.
Beautiful! Are you selling these as prints?
ReplyDeleteJordan, all art and documentary photos I take (i.e. things that are not wedding or portrait work) can be purchased as a photo print, canvas, or watercolor paper art print. Email me if you are interested in ordering!
