President Bill Clinton in Portland and Salem - March 30 & 31, 2008

Former President Bill Clinton came to Portland and Salem to campaign for Hillary at the end of March. I had had an opportunity to photograph President Clinton in April 2007, but this time, I got to ride in the motorcade! Parking on the tarmac next to the private jet, was particularly exciting.

Senator Barack Obama in Portland - March 21, 2008

I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people in the past month and I just have to blog about it!

In March I had the opportunity to photograph Senator Barack Obama for my second time (the first time was in September 2007). There were 90 people waiting to have their photos taken with him and he looked good in every single photo. Unfortunately, I missed the big rally after the photo shoot because I had to run home and download the images to my computer...

Cirque du Soleil Promotion Team - February 29, March 1 and March 4, 2008

I got to take photos for the Cirque du Soleil promotional team and really enjoyed working with such creative people! I then had a little fun being creative with Photoshop...
