Here are my photos from an incredible week in Cleveland. I have been very fortunate over my career to get to record some very historic moments in politics. I've photographed campaign events, events at the White House, Inaugurations, been to an Inaugural Ball, I was there when President Bush officially won reelection, State of the Unions, but the one thing I had never covered was a Presidential Convention. When I heard that the RNC was going to hold their convention in Cleveland (45 minutes from our home), I knew I had to apply. I owe some thank yous to some people for helping me finally make the decision to take the time off from work, but I am very proud to say I have finally checked a convention off my bucket list.

To be 100% honest, if it was the DNC that was holding their convention in Cleveland, I would have been there too, it wasn't a political decision. When you get the opportunity to photograph anything regarding the Presidency your political leanings don't apply anymore. You say yes.

I hope you enjoy my photos. It really was an amazing week. There were some hiccups as I learned how things worked (when Trump entered the arena on Wednesday I went with a ton of other press to photograph him, and Secret Service cleared us out of there and made us go up these steps to clear out the area so the isle wasn't blocked. I was surprised at that, and when I realized they took us off the floor and up to the main level by concessions, I walked back to the media area and headed back down to the floor only to find out Secret Service had closed the floor. They said the Fire Marshal said we were at the max limit, but personally (no facts to back this up), my belief is that Trump was on the floor so the Secret Service locked it down so nobody new was going on the floor. It's ok, I understand that. I wasn't happy I had to miss Pence's speech, but I understand how security works.

Every Delegate I met was incredibly friendly (one even gave me a cool pin from Texas - it's in my collage photo).

The City of Cleveland did an amazing job, the police were incredible, and there was not a single moment I felt unconfortable, even walking back to my car at 12:45am a 1/2 mile from the arena. They did an amazing job.

The City of Cleveland did an amazing job, the police were incredible, and there was not a single moment I felt unconfortable, even walking back to my car at 12:45am a 1/2 mile from the arena. They did an amazing job.

Here are my photos from an incredible week in Cleveland. I have been very fortunate over my career to get to record some very historic moments in politics. I've photographed campaign events, events at the White House, Inaugurations, been to an Inaugural Ball, I was there when President Bush officially won reelection, State of the Unions, but the one thing I had never covered was a Presidential Convention. When I heard that the RNC was going to hold their convention in Cleveland (45 minutes from our home), I knew I had to apply. I owe some thank yous to some people for helping me finally make the decision to take the time off from work, but I am very proud to say I have finally checked a convention off my bucket list.

To be 100% honest, if it was the DNC that was holding their convention in Cleveland, I would have been there too, it wasn't a political decision. When you get the opportunity to photograph anything regarding the Presidency your political leanings don't apply anymore. You say yes.

I hope you enjoy my photos. It really was an amazing week. There were some hiccups as I learned how things worked (when Trump entered the arena on Wednesday I went with a ton of other press to photograph him, and Secret Service cleared us out of there and made us go up these steps to clear out the area so the isle wasn't blocked. I was surprised at that, and when I realized they took us off the floor and up to the main level by concessions, I walked back to the media area and headed back down to the floor only to find out Secret Service had closed the floor. They said the Fire Marshal said we were at the max limit, but personally (no facts to back this up), my belief is that Trump was on the floor so the Secret Service locked it down so nobody new was going on the floor. It's ok, I understand that. I wasn't happy I had to miss Pence's speech, but I understand how security works.

Every Delegate I met was incredibly friendly (one even gave me a cool pin from Texas - it's in my collage photo).

Adelboden's (Switzerland) response to «The Netherlands welcome Trump in is own words» from the dutch TV-Show «zondag met lubach». www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-xxis7hDOE

Then Böhmermann called for more Action: Germany second | NEO MAGAZIN ROYALE mit Jan Böhmermann – ZDFneo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcH9eWBs9fw&t=2s

«Deville» Late-Night came up with a great response for Switzerland.

We went further and responded for ADELBODEN, Berner Oberland, Canton of Bern –because it’s so awesome here. The best ski area in the world. #everysecondcounts #Trump #AmericaFirst

We were just skiing and had fun ;-)

Voice: Andrew Lambert (biggie88) not Shaun Streeter and not Greg Shapiro (not available - maybe the secret service took care of them)
