It wasn't a photogenic event from the middle of the mall but I knew I could eek out something later. I had a vision and it went something like this shot. Yes, it's cropped. Yes, it's photoshopped. That's the vision I had. Never say never.
As for the event, it was cold and lovely. The jumbotrons were out of sync by four seconds, crowd management was terrible and despite all that, I wouldn't have been anywhere else but the National Mall that day.
Make pictures. Be there.

I'm just checking out your Photo Blog for the 1st time and it's a neat little site.
I was there myself on Inauguration Day (I live in DC) and while my friends, co-workers and myself were freezing horribly, a little baffled by the audio/video delay, and had to deal with the horrible navigation and transit set up (Went to 2 Metro Stations, Both closed) ...the 4 of us would not have wanted to be anywhere else on that day.
For the matter, The 2 things that led me here are 1: to show some youth I'm currently teaching Photography, what different, Photo-driven blogs look like. And 2: Watchmen :D
I have the Portraits book on Pre-order via Amazon and the images that have come out officially look absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to receive and look through it's pages with my own eyes.
Thanks Douglas. I'd be happy to share more info should your students be interested. feel free to contact me directly clay AT clayenos.com
Wow, that's fantastic. I certainly may do so once I pass the idea back to my supervisor/co-teacher. I should add, the fact you got a photograph like that in the sea of people that day, is pretty amazing, Photoshop or not. Thank you, Mr. Enos.
