Portrait of a Candidate, by Callie Shell

No matter who you are voting for, if you like photography you will enjoy the photos of Senator Obama on the campaign trail that Callie Shell captured. They first appeared in Time magazine, but the layout and image gallery is much better over on The Digital Journalist. Her intimate access to the Senator, and thoughtful timing, really make these photos quite special. The image of Senator Obama doing a pull up may be one of my favorites. Regardless of who wins, these are images we will be referring to decades from now.

I can't find a web site for Shell, but I would love to see more of her work.

Nice find, Meaghan. I love the shot titled "early light". I just wish our politics in the UK was as inspiring to watch!
