It was a wonderful experience. I was one of the volunteers checking people in at the shuttles that took them from parking at the superdome to the church. It was so much fun just to meet everyone. It was mostly an african-american crowd, but not all, and everybody seemed very excited to be attending.

Once we got to the church, I felt like I was the official "dose photographer". I kept trying to catch our favorite expressions. I had to make myself stop taking pictures and actually watch and listen. I also had to remind myself that I don't ACTUALLY spend every day in close proximity with the president, although the dose makes me feel that way.

In case you couldn't tell, this was my first real event with my new digital camera, and I am not used to the delay you get as the camera auto-focuses and does whatever else it does between the time you press the button and the time the picture is taken. The pictures are blurry because I thought I was finished taking the picture and moved. I promise to do a better job next time :-D

Omegatoo, thanks for sharing your experience. It must have been the most wonderful day. I was able to see our W on Nov 4, 2000 in the Phila. suburbs. Laura was with him - it was an electric experience. I'll never forget it.
