Description:
The inauguration of the first African American President of the United States is an historic landmark around the world. This is my first attempt at hosting a swap and it's a little late setting it up but I was so excited about this idea I had to try it. I want to reach out to others around the world to share in the moment. Here's what you do. Simply take one or more pictures of what you are doing on January 20, 2009. Write a short description of what you're doing and your feelings. You'll have five partners. You can send the same photo and description to each partner or a different one to each partner. It's up to you. In order to save time and postage, this will be by email. Send your message in an email attachment or as a web link. My hope is that this will add to your memories of this day. All are welcome, this is an international swap. I do reserve the right to ban anyone that looks like a potential flake risk, Please PM me if you have any questions.

IF we don't get enough people for this swap, let's do it anyway. The host can edit the swap to reduce the # of partners. Or if it gets cancelled I would be willing to email mine to anyone still interested.
ps. I have been waiting 8 years for this administration to end, but I have been waiting all my life for someone this smart and visionary and capable and humanly compassionate to get this job.

I really like this one, I think this will be very interesting for me as a German in America. I'd like to share my impressions.

@Carol thanks for the link.AND your enthusiasm! :) @Nellnere I have huge admiration for this man as well and high hopes. Watching TV, I'm sharing in what seems nearly nationwide euphoria. @babyamy Welcome to the US! I hope you enjoy your visit. Yes, it will be a great pleasure to get your view of this historic occasion.

Hi, I only signed up for this this morning. I'm in the UK but I'm excited for the world! So far, thinking about taking photos has made my day more interesting - made me make an effort to mark the occasion - so thank you for organising it. Here's to the future!

Great swap, but I am quite sick, so my pictures would be o me with red eyes(and sore throat, I pictures would show it!) Have a lot of fun!
