Photobooks and Republican Politics: A perfect way to capture the feel of the campaign *

No no no. We aren't going to start getting political. But we will support politicians who take their photos and put them together into a photobook as a great way to remember their staff, opponents and supporters.

The first page is the candidate speaking at their acceptance speech. The next page is the campaign organizer in action talking to people and getting things done. Next is the family of the candidate as they were on location at a speech. The next couple pages are the staff , the callers, the drivers, the security, the gophers, the press people and all the way down to the campaign’s mascot. You could even put some of the newspaper clippings into the book. Grab a scanner and the article and you’re done.

The end of the book is the best one of all. The Candid Page! Everybody is there. People yelling. People calling. People spilling coffee. People tripping. People sleeping. People chatting. People strategizing. People planning. People pointing. People pontificating. People arguing. People picking their nose. People eating. Those will be the best shots!

The back cover though would be the best of all. It would have the red, white and the blue ticker tape and balloons coming down from the ceiling at the acceptance speech. It would be hard to see but if you look carefully through the ticker tape you can see the smiling face of the candidate, proud to be an American!

Best of all the candidate can sign each one after they receive the books! They could sign the book: THANKS! And their name. What a memory of a whirlwind of fun, stress and a glimpse into the American political process.

Are you or have you been part of a political campaign? Do you think this is a good idea for a photobook?

*We'll do a Democrat Photobook post later when the Republican's choose someone and the Presidential race gets really underway.
