It wasn’t for the game.

It certainly wasn’t to enjoy the strip – which was a madhouse.

It was to catch John Edwards and Barack Obama on consecutive days.

Work came up, postponing editing. Finally, I’ve cut the first clip from that trip.

It was a little different than what I am used to, shooting without the carte blanche of being a part of the campaign team. As my old boss Larry Grisolano was known to say, “I treat carte blanche like blank check.”

Luckily folks I worked with on the Angelides campaign were advancing both events, which granted me a little leeway in where I was able to grab positions.
