Hope, Change and Struggle: An Artist's View of the 2008 Presidential Campaign

The Fourth Day: Change
"He did a day in Philadelphia — his staff called it 'barnstorming day' — and he did four consecutive rallies on the crossroads of residential streets in four areas of Philadelphia. As an artist who makes portraits by spending hours with the subject sketching and taking photographs, I had loads of drawings of Obama's face, head and shoulders, but I found it hard to get his stance. I worked really hard to get to the essence of it but felt it was eluding me until this rally on Oct. 10 and this photograph I took that morning at 6 am."
