Hello

I'm a photographer from London, Uk. I shall be taking a trip to Texas in a couple of weeks, spending a month documenting the forthcoming elections, to form a substantial body of work from to take to (UK) press.

Whilst I shall be crossing the state to gain an overall insight; I intend to focus the assignment mainly in Crawford; more particularly, to focus upon the Democrat challenge in 'Bush country'.

I was wondering if anyone could put me in touch with an openly/actively Democratic group / person /family within the Crawford area, or a as near to Crawford as possible, to get this project underway.

If so please email me: Crawford@JamesBallPhotography.co.uk [Crawford(AT)JamesBallPhotography.co.uk]

And please check my website/email me if you'd like more details....

Thanks for your time

Kindest regards

James

Do people from London really say "whilst"?

Looks like it. LOL.

Shall we give him some addresses whilst we laugh?

Only 700 people live in Crawford.

I'll bet you could call the local DNC in Waco, TX which is 20 miles away.

I'm sure any Democrats in Crawford would be locatable by the official Democrat organization in Waco.

[T Minus Four]

Yes, shall we?

Clarification is needed...
This brit's ideas of "democratic" may differ from our american descriptions..

Then, on the other hand, having an even handed FRepublican hosting him might provide some insight into the american political process he has never seen before..

That might take a while. I moved once from Houston to Los Angeles in a U-Haul truck. After two days on the road, we finally got to El Paso Tx. Checking the map, we discovered that El Paso Tx is about the half way point between Houston and Los Angeles.

Here's the only people in Crawford, Texas who gave money to John Kerry's (or John Edwards' Campaign (both named Joe Cunningham - might be a father/son? - one's a doctor, the other's an attorney):

I don't see why not. I do, and I'm just a fella from Texas. The beauty of the english language is its sheer breadth. We have words that describe anything, and aren't too proud to borrow from other languages when we find one elsewhere that gives that extra bit of nuance that is needed for a particular situation. Heck, we'll make it up on the spot if it results in a word that better describes things than what is readily available in our vocabulary. (i.e., "blogger")

[Revolting cat!]

Is 'whilst' one a-those unpronounceable Czech words?

[T Minus Four]

to focus upon the Democrat challenge in 'Bush country'.

Sorry, wish I did, it could be fun.

I understand that the Abilene Kinko's maintains a roster of central Texas Democrats.

LOL all 3 of them.

[tubebender]

Is there a state prison nearby...

[T Minus Four]

Well, I'm well educated and have a more than adequate vocabulary, but I fail to find the nuance in "whilst" that is unavailable in "while". Unless the nuance is that the speaker is snobby, LOL!
