One thing I love about photography is getting to experience situations and see portions of other people's lives and careers that I wouldn't normally get to see.  Recently, I had the pleasure of shooting Connecticut State Representative Andy Flesichmann's 2008 campaign photos, including portraits and candids at a recent political meeting in West Hartford. 

Andy is the State Representative for the 18th District in Connecticut and is serving his seventh term in the House.  Andy serves as Chairman of the Education Committee, Chairman of
the Appropriations Subcommittee for Elementary and Secondary Education,
and is a member of the Joint Committee on Government Administration
& Elections.  You can learn more about his campaign here.
