As almost everyone knows, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008 was a truly historic day for America and as I recall my previous post left off the day before the election. Covering an election of any kind is something that I enjoy very much for many reasons. There is always a certain degree of uncertainty hanging in the air throughout the day and this day was no different.
I started my morning at about 7 AM in Idaho City documenting the election day activity for the Associate Press. The idea was to capture the essence of rural Idaho in only a couple pictures, which proved to be pretty darn difficult.
After returning to Boise, casting my own vote and taking a nap, I geared up for what would turn out to be a long night of newspapering.
I did a lot of running around on election night and got the opportunity to see both Republicans and Democrats celebrating victories and mourning defeat.
After taking Wednesday and Thursday off to recover from what was a frantic few days I returned to work to cover an interment service for abandoned veterans...
... and some high school football playoff action Friday night.
On Saturday the Boise State Broncos faced off against the Utah State Aggies in a highly unusual Saturday afternoon WAC match up. The light was great, however, the game was less than exciting. The Broncos crushed the Aggies, 49-14 to improve to 9-0 on the season.
I'll leave you with a little inspiration here...
This little flower was growing through a fence, which I'm sure would fit well in a one-liner inspirational poster... Perseverance (or something).
Thanks for stopping by!
