Beyond Gesturing

Uploaded: September 21, 2013

Description


--
This time last year the Presidential campaign was winding down but heating up big time.
---
Deaf interpreters are part of the story. This was captured at a Philadelphia rally featuring Michelle Obama, and Mrs. Obama was delivering her speech when I snapped this very animated shot.
----
It isn't hard to guess what the topic was, even without the ability to read the signing.

I love the black and white to began with and am a big fan of your work with people. Finding expressions like this and capturing them is an ability you have a wonderful knack of. I love this, its comical, the expression says it all. Love it my friend. #10850107

Good thing the speaker didn't make that face while delivering the speech! HeeHee...Amazing really that, (the ultimate), body language can tell the whole story to the hearing impaired.

Wonderful timing as always,
-Laura :) #10856393
