Anyone that knows me will concur, its no secret I’m a political animal. I’m not sure where I get it, but if I were to boil it down to a single reason, I’m passionate and want to help leave the world a better place. I also have an interest in the human condition and psychology. (Photographing people requires that sorta thing.) Politics is an extension of this, on a micro and macro level.
I’ve had the privilege to be asked to photograph and videotape Washington State’s gubernatorial candidate – Jay Inslee. Jay is currently a Congressman with the WA 1st District and has decided for run for governor. He’s known for his progressive ideas, his dedication to people and in particular, the environment. He sponsored a bill and wrote a book called “Apollo’s Fire”, (http://www.amazon.com/Apollos-Fire-Igniting-Americas-Economy/dp/1597261750) which attempts to bring real solutions to our nation’s energy and environmental challenges.
Here’s some images from a rally held in Seattle on November 9th, 2011, featuring Al Gore.
