Photographing Barack
I've had the opportunity over the years to do commissioned portraits of a number of people. Of all of those sittings, none has given me as much pleasure as being able to make a portrait of the next president of the United States of America, Barack Obama, in his home here in Chicago's Hyde Park. I'm happy to offer a limited edition print of this portrait to those of you who both admire my work and who also support Barack's historic quest for the presidency. The 30X24 inch archival pigment print, which is signed and numbered in an edition of 50 will likely sell out, so drop me an e-mail if you are interested. Numbers 1-25 will be available for $2,500 USD; numbers 26-50 will be available for $5,000. I will be donating a portion of the sale of each (up to the legal limit) to the Barack Obama presidential campaign. E-mail inquiries to: dawoudbey@aol.com
