Hillary Clinton - U.S. Presidential Campaign Rally - 2.2.2008 Cal State University Los Angeles, Cali

I love the intensity of this one. One of the few moments where she spun around (she walked through and stopped to sign autographs) and was literally only about 6 feet away. One split second is all I had before my view was quickly blocked by a crowd of fans, secret service agents and flying banners. While it is blurry (low light and lots of movement from me and the subject as people smashed up against me), I like the energy of it with her expression and I like the adoring fans (girls) in the background.

    Looks extremely surreal with the perspective. She looks larger than life. Very nice, love the old grainy black and white style

    This is a great shot and I think you should send it to the NYT or some of the major papers. The blurriness only adds to the sense of drama and photojournailsm. It really captures the essence of the campaign. Very very good shot and better than any of the photos I have seen in the papers.
