37. there was a photo on line

where this woman, i cant remember her name, was telling him he lost. (apparently) according to the exit polls. and he just sat there stoic not saying anything and the family was behind him going on with their party.

is that what you are looking for? i thought wonkette had it. and i searched for it but if i could remember the womans name i might do better. brb. its that woman from Texas. yeah really like that was a stretch!

3. If I were you I would contact AP photographers in certain cities

in which you know lines in certain precincts were really bad. I believe AP photogs are freelance and can do whatever they want with their photos.

Columbus: Jay LaPrete, Tony Dejak, Michael Byer


Another idea would be to contact Electuon Protection to see if they have access to any photos.

6. Jay Laprete contact info

Jay LaPrete:
Address: 1584 Goodale Blvd, Columbus, OH, USA
Phone: [phone](cell)

Fax: [phone]

32. Jay Laprete did shoot some lines in Columbus on Nov. 2

Unfortunately the photos that were picked up might be photos of suburban GOP voters as they are white. No telling what else he shot that day, that did not get picked up.

The photos picked are from Whetstone Rec. Center in Columbus. Any Columbus DUers know if this is an urban democartic polling place or suburban GOP leaning?

41. AP Photographer Haraz Ghanbari shot lines in Akron on Nov. 2

Voters wait in line to cast their ballot at Buchtel High School, Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2004, in Akron, Ohio. Advocacy groups and political parties said they're confident they can build on the increased voter registration and turnout even for those who waited up to 10 hours in rain to cast ballots for the losing presidential candidate.

5. I was looking too - I have these so far

[keepthemhonest]

7. Look at those dirty looks

those * daughters are giving. The apple does not fall far from the tree.eh?

[dzika]

40. Compare their expressions

after the victory speech

I think B* is about to pass out.

[bleever]

14. Nothing improves a girl's mood when she's down like a nice pair

of green shoes!

Turned the whole day around, in fact.



:)

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. Oh my, I never saw the purse

Red means stop

Green means go.

Time to switch the vote tabulators.

[bleever]

24. That pic isn't actually Jenna's shoes; in fact I could not find a good

picture of them after exhaustive google image searching.

But man, those guys sure looked like sourpusses that morning.

[merh]

34. I think this was after poppy told them things were worked out.

Green shoes, included.

You have to wonder if these folks votes counted?

8. I thought he knew when he voted in Crawford...photo:

On the White House Website:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/11/images/20021105_d110502-515h.html

[merh]

11. Wasn't that his first theft?

"President George W. Bush and Laura Bush leave the Crawford Firehouse after voting in Crawford, Texas, Tuesday, Nov. 5. White House photo by Eric Draper"

On edit, that was their 2002 crime!

[understandinglife]

46. Exactly merh -- I had not thought of this picture until Will made...

...his request. Two mornings in Crawford; two elections -- both times, to the extent he can 'think'; the face tells you what those thoughts might be, like "we better win or my ass is grass"..... :evilgrin:

Peace.

"who bought the green shoes: daddy or karl?"

[bleever]

20. That look on Pickles' face...

and why aren't they leaving holding hands?

I'll bet * was hard to be around that day. The pics of the twins look like they are thinking about what it'll be like to put up with daddy after this drubbing.

[merh]

9. Forgive the ignorance, what does "in public domain" mean?

If it is on the web, is that no necessary "public domain"?

[roseBudd]

19. Not public domain, just because people use save as to grab AP photos

[merh]

25. That's what I thought, if Will uses an AP photo or BBC photo,

he still needs their permission correct?

[roseBudd]

26. He needs to pay them, they start with cease and desist usually

[VTGold]

30. Oh - then the ones I posted are useless - never mind!! n/t

[understandinglife]

10. From the BBC just as he exits from voting....not a happy camper...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2406605.stm

[merh]

12. Those are 2002

The photos from 2004 are hard to find (they probably had them purged).

[understandinglife]

22. Correct (n/t)

[Darkhawk32]

13. Man, this isn't Ohio but this line in Florida is INSANE!

18. Insane ideed!

The article is a joke as well. Reading its content now you can clearly see the spin taking place from the beginning.

[suffragette]

15. stills from the video of lines in Ohio

Can images from the video be converted to stills? The video seems to be distributed freely.
Or would the resolution not be good enough?

On edit: added lines in Ohio to clarify

[anamandujano]

45. you can get stills from video

if not digital, convert to digital, import into Premiere or even Quicktime and export a still from any stopping point

[yvr girl]

16. This might help

21. Not necessarily stills, but I thought this was interesting....

Fromn the Anti-Bush discussion group:

A man filmed most all of the Greene County recount. He was behind me almost every time I turned around. I believe he caught something on tape that was a part of a crucial argument I was trying to make. It may very well show something further that I believe is critical. He interviewed me out in front of the BOE and gave me his card. R. J. Robinson, Executive Producer. This is his site:

http://www.thefranklingang.com/ We've tried calling him and emailing him without any response. If it wasn't for me having his card I'd start to wonder if he was a figment of my imagination.

WHO can get to this man and get a copy of that tape? I challenge all of you to try.

23. Don't know if this helps you,

but this photo was taken of WhatsHisFace on the morning of the "election"...

[NVMojo]

27. Will, most reporters working for newspapers or radio who are

AP subscribers have access to the AP photo bank. It is usually protected with the individual company subscriber's account login and password. But surely you should know some reporter out there with access who could get some for you???

[roseBudd]

28. I have access, I looked a month ago, incoming AP photos expire

[VTGold]

29. Here's more

this one looks like a still from video:


a lines in OH:




Provisional Ballot problems in Cleveland:

31. archive.org

They have the video called "Ohio Voting Problems, 2004"
Some of the video is shown as a slideshow and some of these photos look useable.
They have the email contact info of the people involved so maybe you could ask them
if they could help you with the stills.
Here's the link: http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?collection=election_2004&collectionid=ohio_vote_2004

Still searching there for Bush on Nov 2nd.

[shadowlight]

33. I can convert video to stills if you direct me to the video.

[DoYouEverWonder]

35. Here's a link to pictures of Bush on 11/02

from the White House website. Anything on the WH site should be considered public domain.
