Their Change and Mine: Getting OffTheBus with Obama Canvassers




As part of their groundbreaking crowdsourced-coverage program, OffTheBus, the good folks at Huffington Post put out a call for coverage of the Obama campaign’s Canvass for Change over the past weekend. Here’s my contribution to their effort.

I’ve loved shooting the grassroots in this election cycle; at Edwards and Clinton events, at the California Democratic Convention, and at Obama’s Camp Obama in Burbank and national canvassing activities. While I’m used to turning my lens on the candidates who are the “head” of the movement, their is something tremendously inspiring about getting out there with the “body” of activists, after too many years at a desk in HQ.

I’ll stay “OffTheBus” (though the bus I was on was usually the candidate’s bus, rather than the press bus HuffPo refers to!), to cover what’s happening in the energized Democratic grassroots. Check back here for the latest releases.
