DC Day Four - Inauguration cont.

And Finally, the emotions that Followed...


Andrew Grinberg of DC dances in celebration with friend Lizzy Lynch on the lawn of the Washington Monument Tuesday following the 56th inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States.


Maggie Weiss of Minnesota celebrates by taking photos with her camera phone seconds after Barack Obama takes the oath of office and becomes the 44th president of the United States.


Sam Gutman,center, from south New Jersey climbs high above in a tree on the lawn of the Washington Monument with his friends to get a better angle and be above the people, he said.



The official helicopter carrying George W. Bush left the steps of the Capitol for the last time Tuesday following the Inauguration of Barack Obama. In conclusion to the Bush administration in Washington, the helicopter flew once around the National Mall before fading off into the distance.


Obama supporters on the lawn of the Washington Monument proceeded to flick off the helicopter carrying George W. Bush as they hummed the song "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye".

P.S. I did shoot video too!!! However, that will take me a day or too longer to edit. Stay Tuned ;)

i like your work! :) the last pic in this does make me sad though. he was someone that God had placed in a leadership position of our country.. and the fact that people disrespected him that much makes me realize what America has come too. We have no sense of dignity anymore... we flick off and cuss out whomever we want. I did not vote for Obama... but I know that now that he is President we all need to respect and support him. We don't have to agree with what he is doing... we don't have to like him. But we need to have respect.


Just a though ;)

How have you been? Do you remember us? (David & Courtney Craver) This is Courtney... I have seen you are a photographer too- that is so cool! I would love to keep up on your work!

have a great week!
