Access isn&#x27;t too hard if you can get up early and hustle.  I went to NH (invited by my SO), the candidates like publicity and photographs (bring a camera they said). Though I had to go through a metal detector they were fine with my rig (slr and 100-400mm lens, not small) I posted a couple &quot;cc&quot;.<p>Though in the age of the cell phone, these photos pretty much they way things are going.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;acomjean&#x2F;23968845552&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;acomjean&#x2F;23968845552&#x2F;</a>

Oddly I talked to one and after 15 years he&#x27;s not loving like he used too, sees to much of the same things, finding it hard to keep a fresh perspective.
