Obama

In honor of President Obama 101st day, here is a picture I took of him during the presidential primaries back in 2007. I was in Selma, Alabama, where he was speaking just down the street from Hillary Clinton on that day in March. Shortly after this was taken, I got to shake his hand. I'm lucky I even got the picture, it was the last frame on my last roll of film. Enjoy!

This American Life

Hi there. I've decided to start a blog to bring my photos to the masses (or hopefully a few people.) This is the first of the daily photos, called "This American Life". It's an image I captured back in December on Christmas vacation in Alabama at my grandmother's house. I love her expression, and the flow of the entire picture.

I hope to bring you images that communicate how I see the world, often in kind of an obscure way. Look through my eyes, my lens, Amelia Obscura.
