I worked a news assignment last night covering local campaign offices for Obama and McCain. As a photojournalist I try to keep my opinions out of what I am documenting but let me give you an overall observation. Typically, people are very enthusiastic about choosing a side, but I have found that this campaign season many are hesitant in sharing their views. I even found as I was taking photos that there was a person picking up lawn signs. This unnamed person did not want me taking his photo because he did not want people to know who he was voting for. I suggested to him that maybe the lawn sign would give it away.
Anyway, because of this hesitation I wanted to make sure that the faces photographed were not necessarily recognizable.
