CONGRATULATIONS TO BARACK OBAMA, the 44th president (-elect) of the United States of America. And to all who supported and worked for or contributed in some way toward this moment. It has been an overwhelming and amazing night. Here’s looking toward the future, and all it may contain.
A LINE OF THOUGHT going around today is the idea that while we all want change badly and see this election as heralding or potentiating important change, we are the ones who have to bring this about. And not just by participating in politics, but every day, in many ways.
HERE IS AN ‘I VOTED’ BUTTON that I was hired to make. The person who bought it gave permission for me to offer it to you freely, in the spirit of our new Black Socialist Nation. So spread the pixels, my friends, if you so desire.
THE DAY IS HERE! It’s time for the first change of many and it’s all very exciting. I feel like it’s early Christmas morning over here in the dark Pacific Northwest morning. I’m shakin’ the boxes! I’m smelling the pine needles! Warm red-gold-green-blue glow on my face! My heart is full of hope and a feeling of renewal.
SHOT WHEN I WAS WORKING FOR MTV and their Choose or Lose Street Team, here are three videos of Obama speaking here in Oregon. I feel very lucky to have been part of history in the small way I was, by hearing him speak and shooting these. The first video begins with people lined up around the block waiting for hours to hear Barack Obama speak. Just like the lines at many of the polls today.
