20080927 Barack Obama and Joseph Biden's Visit to Greensboro, NC : I was on the press list to photograph Senator Barack Obama, Democratic Presidential candidate, along with his Vice-Presidential running mate, Senator Joseph Biden at a Greensboro, NC Saturday appearance. It was the day after the first Presidential debate of this election.

Sadly, I was delayed in getting to the rally. The press access area was closed by security and several of us were not admitted. I only got a few pictures of the environs, which I am posting here.

20080321 President Clinton's Visit to Cary Senior Center, Cary, NC : On March 21, 2008, I heard that President Bill Clinton would be speaking later in the day, campaigning ahead of the May 6th state primary for his wife Hillary, near my home at the Cary, NC Senior Center. My wife and I got there a little after 4p and found a long line; we just missed being there early enough for his scheduled 5:15p talk to get seating, but joined a crowd outdoors to hear him.

President Clinton arrived in a motorcade of three sport utility vehicles at 5:06p; within minutes he was speaking. At the end, he spent some time meeting people inside and outside, leaving at 6:15p. I took a number of shots of President Clinton from a distance, though none was particularly good. Here are 33 images, as well as three short video clips of the outdoor audience listening to the speech.
