    Thumbs up Photos: CPAC 2011

    View photos: here.

    After days of selecting, editing and uploading, I have finally compiled a large selection of photos I took at this year's CPAC. I attempted to attend nearly every C4L & YAL event, as well as every major speaker, and I believe I was able to accomplish that goal. Thanks to my press pass, I was able to take photos from wherever I pleased, and I hope that you enjoy the photos of the speakers from my personal perspective. You can find plenty more photos, here.










    Mitt after realizing his attempt to win the straw poll was futile.





    Although the event was very draining by the end of the week, I hope you all enjoy my photos. I look forward to hopefully attending next year as well. Our victory at this year's CPAC was amazing, and really signifies our movement's strength and passion. It was great meeting those of you who also made the journey to CPAC, and for those who didn't, I hope I've let you in on what you unfortunately missed.

    You can find a vast collection of photos, more than 600 I believe, on my photostream, here. Please enjoy.

    Those are really good photos. Although I hate both men, the pictures of Trump and Romney are brilliant.
    In the end, it's never what you worry about that gets you.

    I think you have found your calling my friend. You are one hell of a photographer!
    "Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people
    designed to make of their victory,
    there would have been no surrender at
    Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me.
    Had I foreseen these results of subjugation,
    I would have preferred to die at Appomattox
    with my brave men, my sword in my right hand." - Robert E. Lee to Governor Fletcher S. Stockdale (D-Texas), 1870

    Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.

    What others do pales beside what YOU do.

    Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...

    "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

    Hah, actually it's because I accidentally focused on her arm rather than her face.

    Well, it was largely due to the lens I was using, as I rented one specifically for CPAC. The one I used is much better than the one I usually usually use though, but I have been looking into purchasing a new lens.

    It's there for those that want to use, but not everyone used it. Lots of people made fun of Obama at CPAC in previous years for using teleprompters, all while a teleprompter was on stage during their speech. They weren't using it, though.

    Actually, not that difficult.

    The question is did you get a picture with "Teh CollinS"!!!
    Libertarians - trying to improve the world through ideas and free markets rather than legislation and prisons.

    I didn't, but I did snap a photo of Kotin with Collins.
