 The postcards are in. This will be the picture staring frequent voters in the face when they go to their mailboxes in a few weeks.
As part of my pledge to run this campaign on a shoestring budget to show fiscal responsibility, I decided not to employ a professional photographer. This picture was taken by my wife Nicole. We had decided on the "One Candidate Stands Out" theme and were trying to get the perfect shot. As luck would have it, this one was actually a throw away of me just standing there while Nicole burned memory cards trying for the perfect angle. We probably took about 50-75 shots that day and came away with this one.
I think she's a pretty good photographer. And my campaign budget certainly liked the price! |

post a commentThat's awesome. Just the other day I was thinking "man, if only I would get more political advertising in the mail, that'd be great -- I haven't gotten much in over a month."
Thanks for filling the void.
Now, if you can promise me to leave automated phone messages several times a day my life will be complete.
Nice work on the postcards. In an era of digital technology, it almost seems silly to pay for professional work when amatures can do a really nice job for free.
I'll be sure to frame mine when I get it :)
Glad I could help Brent. My tree hugger nature prevents me from mail bombing the voters multiple times. I know it helps for name recognition, but darn it, I just can't bring myself to do it. I refuse to kill that many trees. Couldn't afford it anyway.
I'm banking on sending people to the website. I think we've reached an age where enough voters depend on the web. I hope I'm right!
It's easy to take a good picture when the subject is so photogenic!
I am THRILLED to see that you chose my place of employment for your picture! Very nice!
I'm glad you're thrilled Adrianne. Most people look at the postcard and ask "Where was that taken?"
