Sometimes you can remember what you did a year ago from a certain day when it's significant enough. A year ago today I was in Springfield, Illinois witnessing the announcement of Barack Obama's run for U.S. President. I believe it was just as cold in Springfield that day as it is in Michigan right now. It was more than just chilly, I really couldn't feel my feet once the whole thing was over, which does make walking a little bit difficult.
There were tons of people there, but unlike most of my experiences with large crowds, this one was pleasant. The people were friendly, happy, those of us stuck in the back of the crowd didn't even care we couldn't see the stage. I think we all knew that we were witnessing something good, probably even historic.
So you might wonder why it took me a year to get the pictures up on Flickr? There's no good reason, but they're there now. So enjoy! And definitely don't put off voting!
