Milton Williams Photography

Enclosed are photographs I took on  10.19.2014 of  Maryland Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown/Md. Howard County Executive Ken Ulman/ President Barack Obama/  Md. Governor Martin J. O'Malley/ Md. Congresswoman Donna F.  Edwards/ Md. Congressman Elijah E. Cummings/ Md. Congressman Steny H. Hoyer/Maryland residents get out the vote slide show rally campaign photographs by Milton Williams.  My cousin Mischa  accompanied me to the Upper Marlboro Md. Dr. Henry Wise Jr. High School for this six hour shoot. To get to the school site, we walked 3/4 mile from my parked van to the school ground outside entrance line where we stood one hour in a cold wind waiting to enter the school. We were in the line with old folks, young folks wheel chair folk, some not dressed for the weather, all braving the cold to support the BROWN/ULMAN ticket. Not sure of the seating capacity, but the place was full of supporters/ Democrats and one demonstrator. Folk stood on the floor in front of the mike for at least 3 hours waiting for the rally to begin and during the rally . . . This was the standing room crowd of which we where directed away from to the bleacher seats.  We where grateful for that. I had photographed my grandson Shaun's Benjamin Tasker Middle School graduation ceremonies there in June 2014, from the bleacher seats we were siting in, so I knew where to sit to get the correct 180 degree shoot view. Before that, it was a 2009 Md. All Prince Georges County vs. All Montgomery  County High School basketball game. Malcolm Miller, the kid I photographed during the game for his family, played for Montgomery Md.  Gaithersburg  High School. He  is now a senior Holy Cross University star who will graduate in May 2015. He went to college on a basketball scholarship. He was also a 3.8 student in high school.  This was Mischa's first time photographing the President and Md. Government officials. She did quite well.  I am very pleased with the way she is learning on site photography.
