The guy in this photo is a newsman. He’s hot as the blue blazes. For a while he was wearing a dark suit jacket and then he took that thing off! I don’t blame him! I was in shorts and a t and I was hotter than heck!
We were waiting for Barack to come out so we could all take pics of the cars flying past. He was waiting to give the commentary. I was there to take pics of Obama even though I knew they wouldn’t be that great. (I’m repub but I’m a picture hunter so….there!).
Anyhow. As we all waited in the hot blazing sun, I watched this guy as he and his cameraman ( also hot but in cooler clothes!) try the shpeel ( Is that how ya’ spell that? You know his commentary of words…..). He’d wipe his face and neck and then wipe off again. He’d look around and then wipe off some more; work on the camera equipment and then wipe off again, try the shpeel again and then.. you know… wipe off.
I really felt for them. At least I was waiting under a sycamore tree in the shade. We waited altogether for about an hour and a half and finally Obama’s car flew… and I mean flew past us. I don’t know if the newsman even saw the car it went so fast. I know I was busy clicking my Nikon! (And after all that waiting in that hot blazing sun, I only got one or two pics!).
Anyhow….we need to appreciate our news folk. They sweat and such just to get the news for us! (And who knows how many times they wiped off and said their shpeel!)
