{photojournalism: perspective...}

the other night i was allowed to luxuriate in one of my favorite past times: i spent two hours at the bookstore! (thanks, better half!) while doing "research" for the blog, i came across this amazing photo series captured by callie shell for TIME (see full series here and here, if you like). the series is an intimate and poignant look at the president's run for and first year in office, and definitely makes you take pause.

the president of the united states: it's the most esteemed position you can hold in our nation. the journey to the top is arduous and long, and not for the faint of heart. once elected, the campaign trail will feel like a walk in the park. [much respect.] talk about having the weight of the world on your shoulders. it clearly puts things into perspective when experiencing a "stressful" day ;).
