Not with a gun...with my camera. I covered what is probably George W.'s last visit to central Pennsylvania as President last week. 12 hour day and a ton of Secret Service bullshit to deal with. Major pain in the ass...but I got a few good pics.

I'm no fan of this guy's Presidency...but his speech was pretty good. He made alot of jokes about himself and his decision making. I'd like to get a beer with him.


On with the pics:

Thanks man. I'm not a fan of politics in general...but I've covered quite a bit of it this year.

I've got a good story for my nephew in a few years. He was just born a week ago...and on the same day I took his pictures, I took the Presidents picture.

fuckin pics won't show at work...

Probably b/c they are hosted on Facebook. And throwing anything was not an option. I had to be escorted to the bathroom by Secret Service.

Well...he at least didn't make me want to kill myself while he talked. Can't say the same for her. Speaking of which...her shitty photog never emailed me photo's of me interviewing her.
