Prime Minister

Canon EOS 20D

Raw, unedited shot from the Windsor Hilton--Stephen Harper's last campaign stop in Eastern Canada before heading back to Calgary. It was taken Sunday, January 22, 2006 at 7 a.m., about 39 hours before he was elected Canada's 22nd Prime Minister.

These are about the newsiest shots you're likely to see at glasspoeme. I love the convention floor feel, the crazy shadows caused by the flahes from the photographer pool. I was on the media riser at the back with Christie Blatchford from the National Post.
