Last time I was this close to a Presidential candidate was in 1968 when Richard Nixon visited Tampa. I was 13 and my mom brought the whole family to see him. Barack is leading in the polls and could well be the next President. Like him or not, he’s a history maker and I wanted a chance to photograph him. These images were taken October 20th at a rally held at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. About 8K in attendance. The closest I got was about 12-15 feet away, and you know what?… in person he looks exactly like he does on TV.
