Good photography of all kinds really rocks my world. Good photojournalism is just amazing to me. I connect more with news when I can see it than simply when I read it. And when the person capturing the images is herself connected through long-term exposure to the subject, with all the opportunities — and perspective — it brings, the results can be pretty astonishing.
So I recommend this photo essay by Callie Shell, who has been following the Obama campaign. There’s a companion photo essay by Stephen Crowley on the McCain campaign. Whomever you support, go take a look at the human side of the politicians.
