I was photographing New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine at an early morning election day get-out-the-vote rally in South Jersey (after covering the SEPTA strike in pre-dawn). I knew we'd get election night wire photos later, so I figured I was shooting head shots for our website and maybe an early newspaper edition.
The morning light was really pretty (for some reason not many political rallies start real early). And there was a really big backlit flag. So I shot a lot (did I mention a big flag?).
I edited from all the various expressions, and sent one into the paper.
Guess I picked the wrong frame.
Tonight, the results are in and Christopher J. Christie has overcome a powerful Democratic (and $30 million) advantage to defeat Corzine and become New Jersey's first Republican governor-elect in a dozen years.
He was checking his watch in this photo.

Hey Tom, The image in your banner is new. Yes? The balance of light and shadow is great. Works perfect in such an odd sized space. When did you make this image? Any other details you care to share? Since we rarely run into each other anymore at the office or on the street, I thought I ask here. All the best, David Maialetti— maialed
