Published on the top fold of the NY Times May 10, this photo impacts on many levels, a symbol of this time and the potential for change in the direction of American history. It is spread across the faces of the children more than Obama’s handsome yet political visage. One thing to note is the style of the handshake, with the hand and thumbs pointed up rather than down: hip-hop.

Hey there - Glad you all like the snap! It’s my favorite for all the reasons “eforever” cited. I made the © photo in 1995 for the Chicago Reader, where it was also on the cover, above the fold. If you want a good print, or to reproduce it - on your website or anywhere, you should contact me - that’s how independent photographers like me survive. Thanks!

smiling.
