Inspiring Photographers

UNITY2004

by

I am at the UNITY2004 convention in Washington, D.C. this week. 7000 journalists of all hues have assembled here.

My blog posts will be shorter than usual. I am standing in one of the great halls of the Washington Convention Center where the Job Fair is taking place. Two stacks of computers in the hall allow journalists to check emails and post stories. Will have a recap of what I have seen and done tomorrow.

Off to a party that is being thrown by ESPN.

    Yes, I did get to see and hear Dubya. I haven’t had time to post my thoughts on that bit of the convention or any other. I shot some pictures from my seat (of both Kerry and Bush). Low light and slow shutters make for blurry images but they are my commentary about politicians in general – mercurial to the core.

    They both danced around some very difficult questions but in the end I have to say Bush did not disappoint. He went to Yale someone said. I wonder if the trustees at that august center of learning are squirming in their seats. Bush’s last q&a; session had him declare that he is against legacy admissions to colleges (in his case following his father’s footsteps to Yale University).

    I can accept it if he has a medical condition, but a man who is so inept that he can’t think on his feet and deliver an intelligent response scares the bejesus out of me. One guy I spoke with politely chalked the President’s performance as, “he came across a regular guy.” Well, fact is, I don’t want just some joe-schmoe running the country (not to mention wielding power over the rest of the world’s social, economic and political realities). Give me a statesman – hell, I’ll go on a limb and say even President Ronald Reagan had the kind of poise and polish that recent presidents have simply lacked.
