No crappy youtube videos for photographs, please. The resolution is disgusting and it is not self-paced.

2. Amazing photos!

:D

I especially like the one of his shoes for some reason... oh, and the one of him cleaning up after himself at the ice cream shop.

3. those are fantastic - I've always love the brick stairwell one, but love her caption:

Waiting: Obama listens from a back stairwell as he is introduced in Muscatine, Iowa. It was his second or third speech of the day. Unlike many of the politicians I have photographed in the past, I find it is easy to get a photograph of Obama alone. He lets his staff do their jobs and not fuss over him. Nov. 7, 2007.

4. Yeah, not cool

Those photos are copyrighted, not that anyone with a video camera seems to care anymore. Thanks for the link to the photographer's site.

5. She is interviewed on the CNN clip - I watched it on CNN's site the other day.

6. Wtf?! This is an interview WITH the photographer talking about her work!

It goes without saying that a YouTube video won't do her photos any justice at all, the point of it is to hear her account of working on the campaign trail - and on the YouTube version there's a link to Time Magazine too see the photos. Look at videos before you criticise them!
