Now that the US elections have been run and won – I thought it’d be interesting to post some links to some pages that captured Barack Obama’s campaign photographically.
The three links that follow are quite varied in terms of their approach. The first is Obama’s Flickr account with photos by an unnamed photographer/s traveling with the Obama camp (with some very behind the scenes shots).The shots may not be as high a quality as the other links but they tell a fascinating story.
The 2nd and 3rd links are to collections of images by journalists on the road with Obama for at least part of his campaign. They contain some great insights as well as some wonderful imagery.
Barack Obama’s Photostream – including some very behind the scenes shot of election night.
Callie Shell – a great series of shots by Callie from the campaign trail
Scout Tufankjian – another fantastic collection of photos of the Obama campaign
I’m sure there are plenty of other links out there to both photography of Obama’s campaign and John McCains. Feel free to post links to election photography related pages below.
Update: Here’s another great collection of shots of Obama during his campaign from Boston.com

Here are some pictures at McCain's last rally before the election was over. The first 8 are NOT mine, they are AP photos, but the rest I took. Not great, but didn't have the best view sometimes.

Here is the link for my photos of President-elect Obama when he was in Sarasota, Florida five days before the election.

I just sent a correction to the above posts (adding the "d"s that my keyboard left out and including the website: http://pollingplaces.nytimes.com/), but it's not showing up, several minutes later, so I'm sending this too. Hopefully this will show up.
Take a look at the New York Times' Polling Place Photo Project. They ask people from all over the Unite States to submit photos of their polling places. I submitted a few photos myself, an I find it fascinating.
I was gunna go find that boston.com page and made sure you added it to this post :P Boston.com has the BEST photographers of any journalistic publication on earth.
