I went down to Grant Park this afternoon, to see the crowds assembling and take a few pictures. I was struck by the fact that nearly everyone there, gathering together to see Obama later in the night, came with camera in hand. The event was being obsessively recorded, documented, ready to be remembered. And there I was recording, documenting, readying to remember.
It started to get dark--the light wasn't lasting for pictures--so I left early and headed home. Now watching the returns on TV, it appears that Obama may be our next president. I feel so excited, so ready to step into the future that is emerging now. I feel as if I am finally awaking from a dream--an eight year dream.
