Coloradobama: Obama rally in Denver


Slo Mo Obama from Eric J. Lubbers on Vimeo. I filmed that (with the Casio Ex-F1 set to 300fps) among the (police-estimated) 100,000+ (it felt like a solid 60 grand to me, but I’m not an expert) in attendance at the Obama rally in Civic Center Park on Sunday (I wasn’t nearly close enough to see the man himself).

Speeches are speeches are speeches, so I decided to focus on the crowd around me to see who drags themselves out of bed on a perfectly good Sunday morning to stand in a park for two hours.

Check out all my photos after the jump.

If it wasn't for the level-headed interference of my girlfriend, I would have been this guy (kid?).

See that tall, Democratish blob in the suit about center frame? That's Obama.

Journalists line the balcony of my office, looking down on the throng from their literal ivory tower.

This is how the children around me reacted to the long delay between Mark Udall's speech and when Obama took the stage.
