Small Town Politics
One of the benefits of living in northern New Hampshire is being able to walk into the local high school gymnasium with a professional camera setup, no press pass, and get decent photographic access to major presidential candidates.

Looking through photos from September 2008, I came across this series and finally stitched together the panoramic. Photo taken from the Jackson Hole airport access road looking towards the Tetons.
