What makes a great picture?

The signs are good…

So far it’s been a great story and a rollercoaster ride for supporters and candidates alike and the great pictures keep coming.

McClain

I particularly like this clever picture from Brian Snyder in New Hampshire. It is simple, effective, well observed, beautifully executed and delightfully still.

 Obama

Our team of photographers may have changed shift but the candidates are still going. strong. As well as being completely awed by their sheer stamina, I am always amazed by the commitment demanded of their nearest and dearest. Jason Reed’s picture of the Obamas working the crowd shows that campaigning is very much a family affair.

Hillary

The caption on this picture tell us that Senator Hillary Clinton “points to supporters in the crowd at her New Hampshire primary night rally”, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this expression of surprise and delight was a direct result of her having spotted Larry Rubenstein back behind a camera.

Tell me about it.
These candidates must really want the US Presidency bad enough to pull the crazy schedules and campaign strategies off.
Your team of photographers as always deliver excellent, witty and sometimes unusual pics. They too, just don’t stop. Keep up guys.
Looks like 2008 will be fully booked by the US as always, Olympics, the Middle East, soccer and African politics. Unless something else comes up, you got your work cut out for you huh?
