     I have always been intrigued by politics. It must be something about the historic nature of it. Many people become tired and irritated by the campaign ads which become bitter, especially during the last days leading up to the election. But it’s something about the analysts and political “experts crunching numbers and projecting winners that marvels me. Plus, you add the comedy that comes along with it, and you have me glued to all of the channels - CNN, MSNBC, BET, Comedy Central, and of course NBC (Saturday NIght Live).

     When all is said and done, what matters most to me is that everyone gets out and votes. It doesn’t matter if you support Sen. John McCain (Rebulican from Arizona) or Sen. Barack Obama (Democrat from Illinois) or any of the other candidates that we never hear about after the Republican and Democratic conventions. But the price paid for us to have this privilege, this right, was enormous. We owe it to those who fought and died that every person’s voice is heard. Your vote does count!

     I had the honor and privilege of photographing both McCain and Obama during their campaigns. It’s my pleasure to share a couple of these pictures with you. Maybe you seeing one of these pictures will encourage you to get out in vote. Whatever your motivation, use it to get to the polls and encourage others to exercise their right to make a difference.
