Excellent Wesley, getting a press pass is well worth the effort, or a stage pass, or anything that lets a person get "inside". Fantastic images and a really great prompt for the rest of us!
very nice... I did a few concerts like this at the Winnetka Music Festival (in Chicago) and it was a wonderful experience being onstage with various bands. Proximity = the great shots you got. I've been itching to go to Eagle Pass, Texas, one of the hot beds of the influx of, now, millions of illegal migrants into America... but every time I get close to going, I get a job... Thanks for sharing... and for the reminders! ;)
Rallies and protests are great places to make photos of people. Good work on this rally. The opportunities are boundless, and you caught some insightful images. I am not comfortable with these sorts of shoots, so it is nice to read how someone who covers them feels when working. Thanks for the insight.
Random political events are among my favorite subjects to jump into. In fact, some of my favorite shots of the year were from a protest I ended up covering in L.A. on New Year's Eve. I also love the idea of setting projects for oneself.
Nice work! I'm curious. I'm not asking about your politics. But about your decision to let the campaign license your work. (I assume you granted them license?)
I don't have a statement to make, but as I've covered a few dozen political events, it's been a challenge with how I identify myself in relation to the events. Does licensing your journalism work to a political cause or candidate compromise your ability to cover other events? Or... differently put: does being identified with a cause or candidate through the licensing affect your other work? Curious of your thoughts concerning the licensing.
