Travels With Obama

Four years ago Time photographer Callie Shell met Barack Obama backstage when she was covering presidential candidate John Kerry. She sent her editor more photographs of Obama than Kerry. When asked why, she said, "I do not know. I just have a feeling about him. I think he will be important down the road." Her first photo essay on Obama was two and half years ago. She has stuck with him ever since. -- Dirck Halstead

From the photo journal of Callie Shell



Waiting: Obama listens from a back stairwell as he is introduced in Muscatine, Iowa. It was his second or third speech of the day. Unlike many of the politicians I have photographed in the past, I find it is easy to get a photograph of Obama alone. He lets his staff do their jobs and not fuss over him. Nov. 7, 2007.



I loved that he cleaned up after himself before leaving an ice cream shop in Wapello, Iowa. He didn't have to. The event was over and the press had left. He is used to taking care of things himself and I think this is one of the qualities that makes Obama different from so many other political candidates I've encountered. Nov. 7, 2007.



It was primary morning in New Hampshire. Barack and Michelle Obama had been campaigning separately all week. In the first few months of 2008 their private time seemed to consist of a few crossover moments in back hallways before rallies. This moment was rare and you could tell they just loved being able to sit together. Jan. 8, 2008.

The idea of RAID-5 is that no single-disk failure can destroy all your data. It is supposed to be able to rebuild the data on the failed drive. Well, it turns out you could lose every single files in one crash. Just like the Lehman Brothers, all is gone overnight. Every single design I did in this company is gone. I don't really know what to do. I wonder if it is a "RE" sign to "RE"set, "RE"boot or "RE"create...

I did some sketches and baking when nuri's around.

standing very still

I was trapped in the lobby with a cockroach, the flying one, the vicious kind. The elevator was on the twenty first floor, come on. What should I do? standing still? humming? yelling? fighting back?

I stood still in the corner for good 5 minutes praying the cockroach will leave me alone. The elevator came to my rescue at last.

When it comes to inner fear...sense of restlessness, uncertainty, I did the same... standing still, standing very still praying it will leave me alone. the problem of this strategy is until you can overcome your fear, it will keep haunting you from time to time.

looking at the rain drops racing down the window, I asked myself how much is too much. do we really want to know what's beyond the limit or do we ever know we are pushing the limit? felt a bit of lightheadedness again. Its time to stop thinking. The design of our body is just too clever. It always knows enough is enough.




From Dominique Browning's Around the House and in the Garden:

"Home is the place where we have the final word about what goes where, what stays, what feels comfortable, what is life-enhancing. Home is the place into which we invite love and from which love prospers and emanates. There is always room for more."

I will say my home always has room for something green. Hold Örtkruka Trio is on my wish list.

Clocky is a runaway alarm clock. Gauri Nanda designed it when she was a student at the MIT Media Lab.
