NY Times rules

Can I just say I love the New York Times slide shows?
Like these ones from election night
AND one of a cute Korean boxer
Thanks New York Times! Maybe I should quit my job and be a photojournalist.
Election Day
November 6, 2008
My sister and I spent most of the day at a polling location in Port Richmond, with the occasional breaks to knock on doors and get snacks. I expected the worst from this spot in Philadelphia; it is not know for it’s fondness of African Americans. I was pleasantly surprised. I had a great day meeting voters and talking to both the Republican and Democratic Committee members who were also working.
The best part of the day, however was arriving home right as the polls were closing to see that Pennsylvania was being colored in Blue. Shortly followed by Ohio, which pretty much ended it. It felt so good to have been a tiny part of this campaign.
So, here is a photo from the inside of the Fishtown canvassing office. These people are amazing. I hope everyone there (and all the other people that worked so hard knocking on doors and making phone calls) are taking a well-deserved vacation right now.
And because I can’t help myself, a photo of Boris in his Obama bandana
