Obamarama

I queued for about five hours to see Obama speak on College Green, but due to a lack of ruthlessness, ended up quite far back. Still, I can say I was there. During my interminable queueing, standing constantly and without much distraction, I managed to take quite a lot of photo's of the big crowd.

This toolbag decided to jump up into my shot...he's probably a perfectly nice guy, but after spending over three hours being crushed right beside him, I am filled with murderous contempt. Well I was, I don't really care anymore.

I also got a a few shots the evening before of town eerily quiet, the calm before the storm.

I even took a few short videos. I didn't record the speech as I figured there would be far clearer versions on the 'net, and I also didn't want to be so busy recording the event that I missed it myself.
