Over the weekend I got the chance to go to LA again. We happened to walk past the LA Times building where we found a long line of people. I guess they were selling souvenir plates of the front page from Wednesday’s newspaper. The line was down the street and around the corner and after talking to some people we found out that it gone clear around the building the day before. I guess everyone wanted a piece of history. The part that I found so great was how excited people were. We talked to one woman whose mother barely spoke English (Japanese), but volunteered her time for Obama’s campaign. Her mom came out of the building with her souvenirs and gave us one of the newspapers she had gotten – just because. Definitely a different time.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

So it’s been almost a week since I’ve had internet. I’ve definitely gone through withdrawals. The good part was it gave me a chance to unpack some boxes in the new place. What a week to be offline tho! Obama did it! I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited to vote even tho in California I know my vote doesn’t count for much. It is great to feel like the rest of the world may start to respect us again.

With the move (plus a lot of subbing this week) I haven’t had the chance to shoot at all. Yesterday I finally got the chance to spend the whole day outside with my camera. I will definitely have somethings to post in the next few days. My internet, however, has been very intermittent so we shall see how long it will take. Sorry for the absence!
