President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address to Congress with me shooting (below middle) from the House Press Gallery. Very tight and not much room to maneuver but as usual, things work out just fine.
Crazy tidbit of the night, while walking over from Union Station to The Capitol, I somehow managed to lose my sport jacket somewhere along the way. It was a very comfortable blue blazer that is way out of today’s style but it was something I have been wearing since my senior year in college. I just kept it in the trunk of the car and pulled it out when needed. After some 25 years, I finally got my money’s worth out of that jacket and probably shouldn’t complain. I am sure it is in a better place today.
Tidbit #2 from the night, Senator John McCain really enjoyed this photo when it showed up in the paper the next day and actually called looking to get copies of the photo for himself and to send to what he called his “prom dates” for the night.
