After a surreal week of traveling to speak at the Florida PPA State Convention (more on that very soon!) and heading back for a day before flying out to Ohio to cover the MCain Campaign’s VP pick, I’m just now back at home and in catch up mode.
I will post more images from this series of shoots – as well as some new photographs from a very recent Barack Obama town hall meeting – in the next few days.
Many more to come, but I’m holding back several images for the article I’m doing for the October issue of Rangefinder Magazine, a piece on the general election and a follow up on my article in Rangefinder’s June issue about the Democratic primary race.
In the meantime, a few photographs from this week, starting with a shoot at a private airstrip in Vandalia, Ohio for the landing of the Air Straight Talk Express:
Then the rally in Dayton with 10,000 people (including a few hecklers) and John & Cindy McCain:
The VP pick wasn’t officially confirmed until the rally was underway – so when Sarah Palin came out for the first time, there were plenty of cheers but also a lot of “who?”‘s, especially from supporters holding up signs with the names of who they thought would be picked…it was definitely a stunning announcement to many:
And the new Republican ticket…
Wow, Tamara. It must have been so great to have been there in person! Can’t wait to see the remainder of your photos.

That has got to be the best image I’ve seen of Senator McCain and his wife. Truly wonderful – I am sure they will want a copy š
And how cool that you end up capturing the event where he announces the first women ever as a VP choice for the GOP. Amazing.

Congratulations on being there when the announcement was made! I have been invited to photograph them as well but without $ to travel, so am waiting for a local event! I look forward to seeing the rest of your shoot. Congratulations on the Martha Stewart Tollhouse picture, as well.
