On yesterday evening, I attended a rally held at Jackson State University in honor of Democratic Presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama. I had damn good connections. I literally walked past a sea of people, right up to the front of the line.

Well, even with those good ass connections, I still didn’t get a seat up front. Sure, I got in early, but I had to get past security checks before even taking a seat, therefore I had to sit farther back than expected to see the senator speak.

But even from my vantage point, I was able to get a great glimpse of him and set up my cameras to take pics and get some video footage. I’ll be uploading video footage from the event all week. I really hate how uploading the video to video hosting sites diminishes the quality of the video, but for now, here’s a taste of Barack.

Last year I created a digital short for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This year, I was asked by a regular visitor to Infinite Ink to create another digital short for the 2008 remembrance. This was the end result.

The city of Jackson’s annual Christmas parade took place on Saturday. Here are a few highlights from that day.
