Inspirational Portrait

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0712/price.obama/content.1.html


A series of photos by Bill Frakes from Sports Illustrated circulated during Obama's campaign for president. It is no secret that Obama loves to play basketball and I felt these environmental portraits revealed a side of Obama that had not been seen during the campaign. This one particularly stands out to me. He seems like an approachable everyday person that I could run into at my own local YMCA. This was an unusual portrait for someone trying to be elected as president of the United States. The red, white and blue basketball ball adds to the photo and is kind of a subtle reminder of his patriotism.
