Bill Clinton @ Fisk

Tonight I really wanted to go down and see President Clinton at Fisk University, but I didn't want to walk around that neighborhood by myself with my camera equipment, so I waited for my husband to get off work... When we arrived, there was no place to park, and the line to get into the gymnasium was down the street, around the corner, and across another street... hmmmmm I thought, "I HATE CROWDS..." so we drove around looking for someplace to park that was safe, and we drove around some more... then just as I was about to drive away and just forget it, we found a safe parking structure at the hospital across the street.

Anyway, by the time we walked out of the parking structure, there was no line and we walked right up and right in... what happened next... was my photographers luck...

A girl walked up to me, introduced herself and asked who I was with... I said, "I'm local," she proceeded to escort me to the riser for the press... I followed her, she lifted the line up for me to walk under and there I was with all the "official" photogs. This is not the first time my camera(s) have gotten me a front row seat. I LOVE my 1D Mark II, and of course my 70-200 2.8 L series lens!

So, here are a couple of the shots I created.
