Edward - very well said.

I have a friend who is an avid photographer and he grows tired of hearing, "That's a nice camera. It must make nice pictures." As he puts it, it is no different than telling a carpenter, "That's a nice hammer. It must make nice houses."

A camera is simply one tool that a photographer uses in their craft. Producing powerful images is much more than "point-and-click".

Obamania:

George W. Bush inauguration cost ~$40,000,000 - 70,000,000 (depending on source) for an attendance of ~300,000 people. This equals ~$133-$233/attendee

Barack Obama's inauguration is estimated at ~$150,000,000 for anywhere from 1.5 million to 2 million. This equals only ~$75-$100/attendee

Was either inauguration worth the expense? I'll leave that for others to decide, but as far as the expense per attendee goes ... Obama seems to have made a better investment.

I still find the visual absence of military/security personnel rather surprising. Where are they? We know they're there ... somewhere. There are a few snipers on distant roof-tops, but I can't find a gun in the whole place!
