The two guys next to me--I believe one works for the Wall St. Journal and the other for the Washington Post--are covering a wide range of topics. These events are media circuses but act as great opportunities for long-lost photography buddies working around the country to catch up with each other.
The topics of conversation at the moment are:
-What it's like photographing the troops in Iraq (they've both been there)
-How unfortunate it is that every once grand newspaper is now owned by a big media corporation
-The joys of "independent photojournalism projects"...a.k.a. sleeping most of the day and taking a few neat shots in the afternoon.
-How campaign locations have become televison sets (the ballroom here tonight will have more press than supporters, of which there will be around 750 I hear).
-That it's ridiculous these campaigns are letting inexperienced photographers/high school students into these events as press (oops!).
More from Hillary HQ later.
