{ Boston, MA } What up Dun.




I went down to Boston last night to visit Yoon. We were on our way back to his place after eating dinner and ran into this dude on the subway. He whipped out some liquid bubbles and and a cigarette and blew some smoke bubbles. Pretty funny.

I'm bring that one back to Athens. Yoon is going to do a column on him.

Check this guy out. He is a character. Ill let him speak for himself.

{ Manchester, NH } Elm Street.



A few stragglers. Both of which actually ran as follow ups.

{ Concord, NH } PTPD.

I was warned about Post Traumatic Primary Disorder (PTPD). No symptoms yet...

Well the national eye has turned elsewhere. The crazy politicos from NYC, Japan, Denmark, Nevada, Jersey, Vermont, and Timbuktu have left New Hampshire and finally the real Concord emerges. I feel like I walked out of a crazy dream.

I arrived during a blizzard and jumped directly into the extremely dramatic apex of months of political action. Now the snow melts and the campaign signs that spent weeks stuck in roadside snow banks find themselves muddy and broken in the way of traffic.

The 13 hour days are over. I can stop drinking 3 day old Mountain Dew I find in my car to make it through the next rally. I find myself asking, where did all of this energy come from? Because it was not the Dew. Even though I thought so at the time. Something I hadn't felt since I was a fireman.

The national attention? The amazing Monitor staff? Dan Habib's endless positive energy? Preston and Lori cranking out great photos like it is there job. It is, I know. Running into Danny Wilcox Frasier, Chris Morris, and Todd Heisler at daily assignments?

I found myself sponging up anything I could find, NPR, the Monitor, NYT, Time and so on. Polls, Analysis just plain getting mentally involved.

It truly was an amazing way to kick of an internship at an amazing place.

{ Hooksett, NH } Hillary.

So tired. Here are a few from this afternoon's Obama event. Basically a pep rally. High school gym and everything.

Spent some time with Lori and Mr. CHansen. Bumped into Tim Rasmussen.

Bill Richarson, John Edwards in the a.m. and the big debate tomorrow evening.

All of the candidates arrive back in New Hampshire late tonight and tomorrow. Then the real craziness begins. I will post some images after a few days go by and things calm down a bit.

Until then, keep an eye on:

{ Concord, NH } Inside.



OK.

Spent the day inside mostly. Supposedly the most snow in December since 1879. Its still coming down. I went outside to move my car into that parking garage I mentioned yesterday. Had to dig my way out of the house. EPIC. I love that everybody is totally relaxed about it. Meanwhile I am astonished. I'm still not sure where New England is exactly.

All in all, a pretty nice day. I don't care how cold it is. I'm going to go take a walk.

{ Concord, NH } Snow.




My first day in Concord happens to be the last of 2007. Someone should have warned me it snows so much up here. Seriously, who knew?

Thats my car on the left, my whole legs engulfed, and the parking garage where I should park before it snows.

{ Jeffersonville, NY } First Day | Singles.







Here are some random frames made at the Eddie Adams Workshop. I walked around a lot that first day...

{ Jeffersonville, NY } First Day | Family.






I wandered around and stumbled into this family from El Salvador. I finally got to use my rusty Spanish.
