The arrests of 700 people on Brooklyn Bridge over the Oct. 1 weekend fueled the anger of anti-Wall Street protesters camping in a Manhattan park and sparked support elsewhere in the country as the campaign entered its third week.

SoC intern, Emily Young, a UM student majoring in Public Relations and Political Science, enjoyed lunch with President Obama on Sept. 20 in Miami

University of Miami students Maximo Soler and Emily Young received a seemingly suspicious phone call questioning their views on certain political issues. They were asked to explain why they were drawn to President Barack Obama’s campaign.

Four days later, on Sept. 20, they were invited to lunch with the President of the United States.

“From the second he said, ‘you’re going to meet him,’ I was just too excited to listen to anything else,” said Young, a junior who serves as a campus team leader for Canes for Obama and is currently an intern in the Media Relations office at UM's School of Communication.

The lunch, which was an unregistered campaign event, was organized for “first-time voters.” Soler – a senior who interned with Obama for America – and Young were joined by Leslie Redmond, a junior at Barry University in Miami Shores.

Before eating, the three students signed “pledge to vote” cards and handed them to Obama. According to Young, a Public Relations and Political Science major, the president made some remarks when the students handed him the cards.
“His exact words were: ‘I want to be sure that everyone knows that you all are on the case,’” she said.

The lunch took place after Obama spoke at the “Meet the Candidates” Town Hall event hosted by Univision at the BankUnited Center Fieldhouse on Thursday.

The students arrived for the Univision event and were greeted by a campaign leader. At one point, their cellphones were taken away, and they were driven to OMG! Burgers, located near Sunset Place Mall.

They arrived at the burger joint at around 3 p.m. and waited for the president to arrive in his motorcade. Meanwhile, the students ordered and ate their burgers.

According to both Soler and Young, the restaurant workers were not informed that Obama would be making a visit until 15 minutes before his arrival.
“It really felt like an out-of-body experience,” Young said. “It was like organized chaos.”

When Obama arrived, he greeted customers and interacted with the younger crowd. He then sat down with his guests, collected the voter pledge cards and began eating his lunch.

“It was unbelievable. Once you’re sitting with him, it starts hitting you,” Soler said. “You realize you’re sitting with the most powerful man in the world, just sharing fries.”

Soler said the conversation at the event flowed naturally.
“It was actually like talking to family, like talking to an uncle. It felt so normal,” Soler said. “He was super nice, just how you see him on the TV. You can tell on TV that he’s a super normal, very nice guy. In person, it’s just like that.”

Soler and Young also had the opportunity to ask Obama questions.

Young asked the president, “What have you learned in the past four years that you would change and do differently in the next four?”
Obama replied that he would have been able to accomplish all of his goals if he had encouraged his constituents to reach out to their congressional representatives.

Young paraphrased Obama’s response.
“Unfortunately, everyone does have their own personal agendas,” Obama said, according to Young.

Soler and Young believe they will never forget their opportunity to have lunch with the president.

“It was one that I know I will never forget for the rest of my life,” Young said. “Just walking out of there, that feeling that it was such a significant mile mark in my life had just happened.”

Day 93 (October 4th, 2010)
Title: Riffle Shuffle

I was lucky enough to be invited to a poker game last night and unlucky enough to be out 2nd. Still, that gave me a lot of extra time to take photos! I also had a great idea for next weeks photos (Ooo! Foreboding!). So, basically it was a .00 brainstorming night! I did get lovely free "adult beverages", so I think that more than made up for it.

This particular photo is of a "riffle" shuffle, which is when you basically split the deck, then use your thumbs to just lift up on corner of each pile the cards and "riffle" them together. Its also known as a "dealer shuffle", because it is the standard (and preferred) method of shuffling in a casino. It takes practice and a good deck of cards, but once you get the hang of it you look all kinds of cool when you do it!

Techie bits:

100mm Macro lens
f/4.0 at 1/60th

I wish I could have gotten better lighting on it, but I tried with just the normal flash and it blew out all of the details, so I just went with the darker version so the feel of it would be better.

my calling card

Image by suttonhoo
At Patrick's invite I'm adding the pink house at the end of the row to the calling card group.

There are a lot of shots that I like more than this one. But I have to admit that this one has all my characteristics.

Shot suddenly and on the fly while walking down a Dublin street in improbable sunshine. (Okay. So I'm not always walking down Dublin streets. But I'm often shooting suddenly and on the fly.)

Plus a little bit of architecture.
A little bit of decay.
A certain sort of symmetry & a smidge of geometry.

And a whole lot of blue sky.

Yep. Guilty.
