Congratulations!

I couldn’t resist letting out a little creative energy by making this collage from several campaign flyers that had not yet made their way into the paper shredder. My emotions got the better of me several times while watching all the coverage of this historic event many thought impossible just a few short months ago and I believe this country is headed to a much better place. Congratulations to Barack Obama for winning the chance to repair the damage. He has a lot of work to do and we still have a duty to keep him on track. Hopefully we can all unite, stay focused on the tasks at hand and prove the doubtful nay-sayers wrong. I am filled with excitement to see the re-invention of family values by the realistic example portrayed through Michelle Obama as she becomes mom-in-chief. Also, I finally found something to be thankful for regarding the current administration, the GOP and the republican campaign ticket for the 2008 presidency. Since they all screwed up so much both here and abroad, Barack Obama now has the chance he deserves to guide our country to a better future. I welcome this change as things definitely are going to be different.

I have been experimenting with my new camera, the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI or EOS 400D. I have uploaded two new photos to my slideshow. Check back often for new and upcoming additions while I learn about photography. The painting of the photographer is a portion of a piece in Brian’s painting portfolio.
