New political artwork...

Major party convention podiums:
Non-candidate podium, DNC, 2008   Non-candidate podium, RNC, 2008

Candidate's podium (Obama), DNC, 2008   Candidate's podium (McCain), RNC, 2008


1st image: Days 1-3, Democratic National Convention. (source: 129 images)
2nd image: Days 1-3, Republican National Convention. (source: 146 images)
3rd image: Day 4, DNC, Obama's acceptance speech. (source: 92 images)
4th image: Day 4, RNC, McCain's acceptance speech. (source: 70 images)

These images are composite-photo studies of the podiums used during the Democratic and Republican national conventions.  They were created by aligning and then averaging found-photos of the objects in question.  Given the acute awareness of image exercised by both major parties, I thought their respective podiums might be interesting points to examine.

Podiums.  Props for propping-up prospective presidents or perhaps puppets...

Uhg... sorry about that last line, I really need to get some sleep.

Finally someone else says it! Not that you probably share my view of who is a puppet and who their puppetmistress is. Obama is his wife's puppet.

For the record I'm abstaining in voting in this year's presidential election.

I'm only voting NO on Prop 8 so that gay marriage will continue to be legal in California.
