Hope is not a just slogan

I'm feeling hopeful. And not just for myself, but for our entire country. Hope is an investment.

Obama-Biden in Springfield event

Some random photos from Saturday's speech:

Jerome Prophet got some photos beforehand. We're waiting for more photos from during and after.

Will Reynolds got some great photos, too. Even more.

The State Journal-Register made a cool time lapse video of the crowd coming and going for the Barack Obama and Joe Biden event on the square yesterday:

Memo to the City of Springfield: Whoa on the downtown trees. Trim them. It shouldn't look like a forest.

1968 Remembered

Some local folks look back at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

I was 11, going on 12, and glued to the news.

White puffs on blue

clouds_20070811.jpg

Taken at 11th & Stevenson, Springfield, Illinois, Monday, August 11, 2008, between 6:43 p.m. and 6:45:52 p.m.

Jerome Prophet got some shots of the same clouds (and another one). EJ photographed these clouds, too.

I took a bunch more, ten of which can be found here. The only editing I did on any of these was either auto color or auto contrast in Picasa.
