Into the trash
Recently, as part of the process of packing up for our big move to Denver, I was going through a bunch of old newspapers and magazines that I'd saved, throwing most of 'em away. One of the throwaways was the June 5 issue of The Economist, declaring the coming McCain-Obama general election to be "America at its best." How long ago that seems.
After I finished going through a particular pile of stuff, I noticed that the Economist in question happened to be at the top of my trash bag. The image struck me as rather evocative, in an ironic sort of way, so I snapped a picture:
Heh.
That picture, incidentally, is part of my new Election 2008 gallery, which stretches all the way back to January, and also features a bunch of photos I just took today at the local Obama and McCain headquarters. You can view the most recent pictures easily here.
I'll be adding more photos tomorrow, as early voting officially begins at 10:00 AM, and the Obama people are doing a march to the polls at 5:30 PM. (They're meeting in front of HQ, which is at 207 W. Clinch Avenue downtown, at 4:45.) I'll also try to get some shots of the McCain people doing "visibility" in front of the polling place near their headquarters at 1539 Downtown West.
