Obama was in town

I was able to attend President Obama's speech at Gregory Gym on the University of Texas at Austin campus with a press pass. It was the only way I was going to be able to attend the event. The entire day was surreal and exciting and something I will never forget. With my dinky Canon Power Shot S2 IS I was able to take a few photos. My hands were a bit unsteady, I am somewhat short and the light source was hard to work with my camera's limited abilities but I managed to capture a few mediocre shots between the professional photogs.  The important thing is I was there. It was difficult to be in the moment, configure a camera and try to take one sharp and clean photo. I chose to be in the moment. I procured the press pass on what I thought were weak credentials, but I grossly underestimated the people I write for.
