By documenting local voting experiences, participants can contribute to an archive of photographs that captures the richness and complexity of voting in America. Check it out at: http://pollingplaces.nytimes.com/content.cfm/home So, I took my M8 and 28 mm lens with me to vote this morning, and the photos were posted as part of the project. ISO was 640, f/5.6, color balance auto, new 1.201 firmware.

If you have not voted yet, take your camera! PS, the law in California allows photos at the polling place if you do not intimidate voters. That translates to just ask permission. And, offer to send them a copy by email. Regards, Bob Rose
