From my archives. Then Governor Gray Davis at a campaign event defending his recall against Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2003. This was at the port offices in San Pedro. I had been shooting this race and by then knew that the guy had no chance against the star power of Arnold. Arnold drew thousands of enthusiastic people but like at this one, Davis had maybe 75 with a union support.
Side note… I really need to use a bathroom so I went into the port office and begged. The receptionist said yes but had me leave my camera bag and gear at her desk. When I came out the police were waiting for me wanting to know where I left my bag. On surveillance cameras they saw me go in with a bag but not come out with a bag.
From my archives, not one of my best photos but there is a story to it. This is at a campaign event when Arnold was running for Governor of California in 2003. It was at the Huntington Beach Pier. Arnold was known to always be horribly late. He could not tear himself away from one crowd to the next. As I recall this was now going from a morning start to mid-afternoon. So when she showed up the press was desperate for something to do, so she was interviewed a lot. Side note… although late by hours the crowds for Arnold only got bigger and more excited.
