Interesting Statue

Happy Holidays! It's been a bit over a month since I've had the chance to post. I've had some great adventures which took me to Colorado for the presidential campaign, into Montreal, and finally back to NC again:). I've missed posting though!

Glad to be back:).

This picture is of a statue about 5 mins from my home that sits in front of a firestation. I've wandered if it's symbolic of the work the firemen and women do.

Native Threads

I love little shops like this! This is another cool spot on 9th Street.

You may be wondering why I'm posting so many of these pictures. It's because I haven't been out to shoot in a few days. I'm working for an organization called GVO, and the campaign we're now on is Voter Persuasion. I'll be in Colorado for the next 3 weeks! I'll post a link to those pictures, which I'll post on photoblog.com/missleah :). Soon as I'm back in Chapel Hill though, I'll get to snapping:).

Bean Trader Coffee

Another great spot on 9th Street, Bean Trader Coffee Shop.

Silver Surfer!

This I found on that same street from yesterday in Durham. This is a great little comic book store and of course, I couldn't pass up the Silver Surfer! I'm sure you can't find him in too many other places ;-).

9th Street Durham, NC

9th Street is a cool little trendy area in Durham, NC. It's got lots of little shops, unique bars, and coffee spots. Very Indy:-).

Duke University Students Supporting Voting!

I was canvassing today around Duke University in Durham and saw this very cool mural create in support of Senator Obama and more importantly, getting people to vote. I had some other cool pictures from today but this one was the most symbolic. In light of the debate today, I thought it was timely:).

Beautiful Mural in Durham

I've been canvassing for Moveon.org and it's been a very fulfilling experience. One of the many cool things is getting to go to neighborhoods I've never been to. This beautiful mural is near Lakewood and Roxboro Street in Durham not too far from North Carolina Central University, a Historically Black (College or) University (HBCU). There is writing all along the bottom of it stating that a bunch of organizations collaborated to create the mural. There were church groups, youth groups, and local schools to name a few. I love projects like this!
