Lincoln Memorial December 31, 2007

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.

The assertion that “all men are created equal” was of no practical use in effecting our separation from Great Britain and it was placed in the Declaration not for that, but for future use.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

-Abraham Lincoln quotes

    I visited DC this summer and had a blast shooting everything I saw. It was cool to watch the inauguration and see the areas we visited months ago.

    Yes – I am there 2-3 times a year. It’s been fun re-discovering it as I show it to my kids.

    Sure it’s been done a million times… But I love what you and iPhone did with it!

    Thanks. Just me, the iPhone, Aperture (Apple’s Software), Photoshop and 20+ years of experience. ;-)
