You’ve gotta check out Boston.com’s The Big Picture. As a journalist, I should play around more with photography than I do, and I’ve always been envious of great photographers.
Right away, this site hits you with powerful images, living up to the name, as they’re huge and in your face. If I could take a single photo as good as one of these, I’d be happy, let alone if I could produce these kinds of results on a regular basis.

I’m more relieved than anything. I’m so relieved to not have to endure another knock-down, drag-out fight, whether we win or lose. A decisive victory is what we needed, as a country, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Actually, I’d be happier if we had more control of Congress, but I guess a majority is good enough.
Congratulations, President-Elect Obama.

I’m planning on making this election night memorable. I wonder if this will become one of those moments, like when JFK was assassinated, or 9/11, where everyone knows exactly where they were when it happened.

That’s what election night coverage is, and I can’t deny that I get a little bit of a nerd hard-on for sitting down with a beer and glueing myself to live TV and, this year, blog coverage.
But if Obama has to give a concession speech in the wee hours, I’m going to cry. Seriously. I haven’t cried in a long time, but I’ll weep like a child if he loses.

Voting is sexy. Unless you’re voting for John McCain.
