I only spent a few days in New Hampshire covering the primaries last week.  It was interesting and I wish I had the chance to work up there a bit more before the craziness passed.  But it was still great to shoot for the two days I was there.  First day was running around trying to catch every candidate I could.  The second day was a bit of the same but on top of that trying to shoot photos of people voting and holding signs.  Then the wait for the results.  This is a small sample of what I shot.  Have a look and let me know what you think.

Oh and the title of this blog is an homage to song from my youth called 'New Hampshire's Alright (if you like fighting)'.  The band is called Scissorfight and you can listen to it here if you are curious:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9ioePlnTT0  If you were involved in some of the media scrums that occured up there then the song is actually fitting.  Things were pretty crazy.  And if you aren't entirely sure what a scrum is.  Well here is a picture.  That's Ron Paul in the middle with the white hair.
