Somehow I missed this frame editing when I was sending images to Minnpost for my story about getting permission to photograph a meeting with the DFL leaders from the House and Senate a few days before the end of session.  It was a fascinating experience.

Margaret Anderson Kelliher’s final day as Speaker of the House.

After a quick consideration of the 100s of images I shot the past several days, I think this image, although quiet, is among my favorites.  It was right after the Speaker had given her resignation speech.  Hers was the last of several emotional speeches made by retiring Representatives who, for various reasons are moving on […]
