Every photographer at the Inauguration was in search of capturing a significant moment. After looking through galleries of pictures from this day, I found this photo that stood apart from all others.
There is so much hype about Obama's parallelism to Lincoln. This picture depicts this connection perfectly and stimulates the viewer's emotion -- subconsciously allowing the viewer of the photo to make connections between the past and the present.
I like it how the eposure is extremely sharp and how Lincoln is a blurred figure in the background. The photographer made certain that Lincoln's statue did not overtake Obama, which gives the viewer a metaphoric meaning to the picture.
