Colorado Caucus

I shot something new! Finally. I sent myself out to the caucuses in Colorado. I've haven't really been sure about how to prioritize my time looking for work. Should I spend every minute I have trying to perfect my website and portfolio for presentation or should I just get out there? Then I end up missing great things to shoot because I'm concentrating on trying to get my name out. Sigh. I'm sure it will work out in the end.

But in all seriousness, I'm a photographer, taking pictures of a videographer, videotaping an interview of a man who writes about politics for TIME. Wrap your brain around that.

Huckabee

This is not that great of a photo, however, I'm posting it because somehow it showed up on the LA Times website for their coverage of the candidate. To my dismay, they cropped out the hands... so it is just two people staring at each other smiling. Rar. Anyhow...see their crop here.

I had to take a trip to Anamosa to see Huckabee. He spoke with citizens at the local "Pizza Ranch." Seemed like a pretty smart guy for a Republican.
