The US has always been the bastion of democracy, and the election victory of Obama is a testament to the American dream. Anyone can be the President - and I look forward to future Presidents who buck the trend. I tried to do tribute to this historic day, but I don't think words or pictures can justify the significance of this moment.
Although I am not an American citizen, having studied in America exposed me to its ideals, as well as its flaws. And while there are many flaws, the American Dream is one where anyone, even a young, black man, can become the most powerful figure in the world. I'm waiting for the first woman, the first homosexual, the first Asian-American to become POTUS, and I think it will happen during my lifetime.
Also a milestone: Pete Souza took the portrait of Barack Obama on a Canon 5D Mk II, the first official portrait of the President of the United States taken by a digital camera. EXIF: 105mm, 1/125/s F/10 ISO 100.
Strobist: 580ex II shot though umbrella camera left at 1/64. Probably should have used a reflector to reduce shadows on the right.

So glad to get the 2016 mail-in ballot out of my house, and off to the registrar. All done with the annoying mailers, emails, and phone calls. No more talk about voting nude, or rigging elections.

It's local body election time in New Zealand, and like weeds billboards have sprung up on street corners, fences, and vacant lots. The words 'Strong' and 'Stronger' feature on many billboards - it seems that everyone wants to be a 'Strong leader', whatever that means.
I especially liked the top billboard for its intricate play between the halo and the word 'RESURRECT' - nice religious motif there. But the phrase 'NEW BLOOD' is disconcerting ... it makes the candidate seem like a bloodsucking vampire. What were they thinking?
But seriously, does Wellington need to be resurrected? I didn't realise that the city had died?
