Making History

If you're a Shutter Sister who happens to live stateside, today is the day your photo tells the story of history in the making.  No matter if you vote to send a woman or an African-American to the White House--together as a nation we've expanded our shared sense of what's possible in America and that's no small feat.  Have you ever had a better reason for a photo op?

How will you capture your historic vote today?  What will you catch in the lens to help you (and your children) remember this ground-breaking election forever?

Please vote today and when you come back home, leave us a link to what making history looks like from wherever you are and however you're feeling.  It's an incredibly important day.

We voted early--no lines. My son drove home from college to vote. At 2:00 pm, still no lines.

Here is my take on the day. I definitely got alot of mileage out of my daughter's 4th of July outfit. She was a patriotic hit at the polls. :o)

Unfortunately I couldn't vote yet (have to wait 5 years before I could become a citizen), but I've captured this shot yesterday evening.

Walking with my husband, our two kids in their respective strollers, enjoying the unseasonable warmth of the autumn day. Sprinkled throughout our conversation, our 19-month-old kept exclaiming "flag, flag!" Here's what I captured of our vote today...

I didn't have my camera with me at the polls, but I took this picture when I returned home.

Thanks! :~)
