My Favorite Pics of Obama

Here are some of my favorites, with the original captions, which are all copyrighted to Callie Shell / Aurora for Time. I found them here: http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0810/callie-bp.html

Waiting: Obama listens from a back stairwell as he is introduced in Muscatine, Iowa. It was his second or third speech of the day. Unlike many of the politicians I have photographed in the past, I find it is easy to get a photograph of Obama alone. He lets his staff do their jobs and not fuss over him. Nov. 7, 2007.

Two staffers had just passed this site and done two pull-ups. Not to be outdone, Obama did three with ease, dropped and walked out to make a speech. Missoula, Mont., 4/5/2008.

It was primary morning in New Hampshire. Barack and Michelle Obama had been campaigning separately all week. In the first few months of 2008 their private time seemed to consist of a few crossover moments in back hallways before rallies. This moment was rare and you could tell they just loved being able to sit together. Jan. 8, 2008.

There's one more that I really love of Obama standing alone on the football field in Denver at the Democratic National Convention. It's one of the last photos in the series (and you'll see photos of McCain too, since I don't want to be too partisan about things).
