No Sarah "Valentino" Palin

Obama in a photo taken by my old friend and upstairs neighbor, Callie Shell. The caption:

Senator Obama was doing press interviews by telephone in a holding room between events. Sometime later as he was getting ready to begin his event, he asked me if I was photographing his shoes. When I said yes, he told me that he had already had them resoled once since he entered the race a year earlier. Providence, R.I., 3/1/2008.
