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.
My nominee for Sign of the Day.
Some guy near me takes a cameraphone photo, and I turn it into a triumphant symbol.
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.
Obligatory "yeah, I was there" shot.
Journalists line the balcony of my office, looking down on the throng from their literal ivory tower.
Snipers!
State Capitol steps as bike rack.
Awwwwwwwww.
This horse is in the tank.
This is how the children around me reacted to the long delay between Mark Udall's speech Obama's.
Great pictures. I was there and thought you captured the mood really well. I wasn’t crazy about the pictures that made it in to the Denver Post today, wish they could have used some of your shots.
Great video.
