Being in the SeaTac airport the morning Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain’s running partner. A wave of shock seemed to roll through the gates. I could hear people say, “Did you hear the news? Is it for real? Can you believe it? Sarah who?” I will never forget that morning.
Leaving Denver after shooting a wedding, the same weekend of the Democratic Convention. Seeing people with Obama shirts, hats, and flags dancing at the bottom of the escalator.
Hearing the horrific POW stories of McCain’s past.
Laughing with Brian and friends as we watched the SNL skit of Palin and Hillary, my favorite SNL moment of all time.
Getting in line last night to vote at a neighborhood church up the road–surrounded by people who had been standing in the cold air, waiting in line for over two hours.
Eating a brownie baked by a woman who had voted earlier and was back that night to share warm brownies with cold hands.
What was even more moving about that line last night was the energy. People who had every right to be tired, grumpy, cold and impatient, never seemed to complain. People shared coffee, brownies, laughed, and were genuinely excited to see so many people turning out to vote.
Receiving my “I Voted” sticker.
Seeing Obama become the first African-American U.S. President-elect .
Amazing and Inspiring.
Life is full of snapshots that leave us changed people.
Some we capture with a camera and others we hold in our memory. These are some of the snapshots I won’t ever forget.
What are your unforgettable snapshots from this historical election?
