Here are some photos from the evening of the Election. Intense is all I have to say. Many people were every, moving towards Grant Park. Lines wrapping around park to get into the ticketed side of the Rally waited for hours to get in. People on loudspeakers were everywhere, trying to be heard, shouting there messages to anyone that would listen. Bikes were piled on top of each other on fences they could be chained to. Traffic was close to non existent as people on foot blocked thoroughfares.
I looked for iconic photos to shoot, I looked for peoples expressions, and I looked for details to describe the event, but eventually became overwhelmed by everything. I listened for a while to the speeches of McCain and Obama and then look for some more photos. Here are a few of the frames I got that night.
The day overall was great. Great weather, great photos, and great people. I got some of my photos picked up on the AP wire and have found them in online galleries in Reno, Honolulu, and Indianapolis.
