I Shot Abraham Lincoln.

I shot Abraham Lincoln today... or at least his impersonator, Lew Welge, an education graduate student. It will probably be in the Alligator tomorrow. He read excerpts from his autobiography and encouraged students to vote in the student government election. He was about 6'8" while the real Lincoln was 6'4". It was a funny site. He has had the costume for four years, which makes sense because I recall seeing Abraham Lincoln walking down Inner Road by Broward last year.

He said that today was the most attention he has ever gotten. I wonder if that was partly because I was taking pictures. People seem to flock around photographers.
