Photo Of The Day: May 19, 2008

Yesterday's news talked a lot about Senator Kennedy's seizure over the weekend, so I thought it was an appropriate time to share a portrait I took of the Senator last year. This was taken in his home town of Hyannis, MA on Cape Cod during the ceremony for the unveiling of the John F. Kennedy statue at the JFK Museum. There's no artificial lighting here at all -- the completely natural available light provided a nice and even illumination in the afternoon sun. It's certainly not the only flattering photo ever taken of Senator Kennedy, but it's one of them. I know that everyone, no matter what their political persuasion, wishes the Senator a speedy recovery.
