My Inauguration

Here are some of the photos I took last Tuesday. (Click on the pictures for a hi-res version.)

The streets of DC at about 4:30am.



L'Enfant Plaza subway station, just a few blocks from the National Mall.



Arriving at my spot on the Mall. I was about as close as anyone could get without having a ticket and I was still about half a mile away.



The sun coming up around 7am.



The view with my telefoto lens. They still look like dots!



Obama and Bush approaching the Capitol in their motorcade and the resulting cheers. The smallest glimpse of Obama, Michelle, Biden, or the Obama girls would make the crowd go wild.





Taking the Oath.



It's over!
