I love taking pictures of people. It’s a conclusion that I’ve come to time after time, as well as the fact that I would love the opportunity to take more pictures of more people.

On Saturday I took my friend Natalie out to Gasworks Park in Seattle for a little photo shoot.

The first results are coming in, and so far they are no surprise. The real excitement of the night comes later, when battleground states come down to the wire.
