Were you among the millions who traveled to Washington, DC, to celebrate Barack Obama‘s inauguration? Did you venture to Chicago for election night? Travel around a swing state knocking on doors and attending rallies? And perhaps you snapped a few photos during these historic moments? If you’re seeking a wider audience for your Obama—themed photography [...]
