Interesting stuff...

Major party convention podiums:
   

   

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.

For the first time in my life, a politician has brought tears to my eyes... not tears of frustration, but tears of joy.

Maybe I'm a bleeding-heart sucker. Dunno. Time will tell, I suppose.

Wow, I forgot what hope feels like.
