"Duran Andrade, left, an 11-year-old from San Mateo, along with his father, Miguel, and 6-year-old brother Javier, talk about an accident that happened in January at the Dumbarton Bridge.

I am an older brother and a father... I know I could never leave my kid in the car, even if it was on fire! Good Job kid!

Jackie Speier

"Congresswoman Jackie Speier, met with local lawmakers at the Foster City Hall Council Chambers on Friday about their concerns and requests before she headed back to Washington next week."

Congresswoman Jackie Speier was available... well the caption explains it. The funny part was the jokes whey where making about the conventions that happened in these past couple of weeks... I will leave it to your imagination since it was off the record.

Obama Watch Party

I was assigned to shoot an Obama watch party. You ask, what is a watch party? Well thats an easy answer! A bunch of Obama supporters gathered on Thursday night to watch Obama speak live on T.V.




The event started at 6:30 in the Obama campaign office in Palo Alto, Calif. I was a bit late since I had a few other assignments to attend. It was packed and it was hard to get around. I must say, Obama knows how to speak. For more info there is a story posted on our papers site. www.paloaltodailynews.com
