The Inauguration from all sorts of angles

Lots of interesting digital photography of the inauguration is popping up all over. Here's two of my favs:

David Bergman shot a 1,474-Megapixel Photo of President Obama's Address. The detail is simply astonishing.

We never have seen an image like the one Chuck Kennedy from the McClatchy-Tribune Photo Service got with a remote camera positioned near the speaker's podium.

Man badly beaten in Shreveport for wearing Obama t-shirt

Via my good friend Versha, I found out a very great member of the Shreveport for Obama team, Kaylon Johnson was involved in a horrific beating this Saturday:

On Saturday night at a gas station in Shreveport, he was accosted by two white males who were yelling racial slurs, incensed by the Obama bumper stickers on Kaylon's car and the Obama t-shirt Kaylon was wearing. He waved them off, but when he came out of the gas station, they jumped on him.
