I caught this guy today at a John McCain campaign stop in Altamonte Springs Florida.
He is a local Seminole County Swat team member, and he was blocking every move I made to take a pic. I won't get political here, but my wife and I just happened to catch John McCain meeting with Joe the dentist.

Here is another of the McCain bus passing by. And by the way, that is my wife taking a pic with her cell phone.

Man, did they let you get close to that bus.

I was talking to a policeman once about this presidential detail he worked and he said that when he was getting briefed by Secret Service they told him "Anything that gets within this radius of the President that isn't Secret Service...DIES.....including police officers"

You almost became Joe Headshot!

You almost became Joe Headshot!We were as close as the news media. I was zoomed in on my little Canon G7 that I carry around for stuff like this.

You needed the 400mm and 2x to get a paparazzi shot :)I know, but you weren't available to lend it to me. My longest lens is a 300mm with a 1.5x. These were shot with only a 6x zoom on my little point and shoot.

Here is a crop of one shot that actually caught the back of McCain's head (I think), and a straight on shot of Florida's Gov. Charlie Crist. Not to mention also, the back end of a biker babe. :)
