Thanks so much for sharing this. That picture with your boys is BRILLIANT. Totally needs to be printed and framed. I was thinking of you as I listened in on the speech. Having not attended a rally since the concert on Mall B here in Cleveland years ago, I was particularly drawn to your comments about the framing of a leader by the media. I have very strong images of MLK and Kennedy before big crowds–not as many close ups as we get now. When the television camera did pull back, it pulled back just far enough to show that the concentration of Obama signs were right within the usual frame and faded out soon after. That shot made it seem more “staged” somehow. However, when I see your pictures with Obama in a sea of people….that is inspiring. Your description of hearing his voice among all the people and being surrounded by the moment was enough to give me new things to think about today.

Thank you! Now on to uniting our party and taking care of business….

Love,

Noelle
