Jason Kander for Missouri 44th District

Shutter: 1/250 // Aperture: f/5.6 // Focal Length: 210 mm // ISO 640

This evening at Loose Park, I did some photography for an informal event/rally/picnic organized by the campaign for Jason Kander, who is running for the Missouri 44th District state House seat as a Democrat.

Besides being a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, Jason and I were both in the Class of 1999 at Bishop Miege High School, and tonight I ran in to a few people I hadn’t seen in years. One salient remark from Jason’s cogent speech was the need for action over symbolism, and substance over style. Of course, ideals like that run counter to the ideologies after 9/11/01 which by and large called for Americans to go on shopping sprees to save the American way of life.

Best of luck in the campaign, Jason.
