crowds at Obama's Labor Day rally

Best viewed in ORIGINAL SIZE.

This photo was taken with my camera by Renee Drake. We met while waiting for Senator Obama to speak at Detroit's Hart Plaza on Labor Day. Actually, Renee was standing up on her seat looking at the crowds around us--we were in rows 5 and 6 from the podium--so I asked if she'd take pics from that perspective. She turned 360 degrees and took a set of wonderful photos. You can see Renee's crowd shots and my close-ups of Obama by CLICKING HERE. Almost like being there yourself...but without having to wait over three hours in the hot sun!

Love the one little telling detail, the Obama 08 print of the T-shirt, all we need to situate the action: minimalism within... Maximalism (crowds). Can't help adding: That is no RNC here, no 2% blacks in a sea of white!
