Inaugural Photographs






While at the We Are One concert, Presidential Inauguration, and Inaugural Ball I attended, I focused on getting pictures that other students might not be able to get. I had tickets to all three events, which gave me a view that other students did not have.

At the We Are One concert, I got a picture looking back on the crowd that stretched the length of the National Mall from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument. The view I had from the viewing stands provided me with this shot.

At the Presidential Inauguration, I wanted to get pictures of the people there which is where I saw the father with is two children. Since I did not have a direct view of the Capitol, I had to rely on the giant screens for close-up and birds-eye shots.

At the Inaugural Ball I attended, I stood pressed against a barricade for almost two hours so that I could get a close-range picture of President Obama and the First Lady.
