President Carter's Final Days in Office 1980

Enrolled in college photography classes, on "assignment" to

capture current event images, I was fortunate to catch President

Carter on one of his final campaign stops in the fall of 1980. This

photo is one that captured the crestfallen mood of the President

that day as well as any of the other images I took. He was

campaigning, but it seemed as though he was just going through

the motions. He was in the midst of the Iranian hostage crisis and

an economy in shambles. His trademark smiles that day were few

and far between, he knew it was over. Thanks for looking.

All Ratings, Crtiques, and Comments are warmly appreciated.

Great capture with historical significance, his expression says it all, thanks for sharing.

Very powerful. Very nicely composed too. Looks like this was one student who really learned his craft in school.
