In Baltimore, more than 100,000 were expected to turn out to hear Mr Obama speak at city hall, his final public appearance before arriving, relatively incognito at the neo-classical splendour of Washington's Union Station in the early evening.

Reminding a crowd estimated at 35,000 to 40,000 at Baltimore's War Memorial Plaza of the city's heritage as the birthplace of "The Star-Spangled Banner," Obama said the American Revolution "did not end when British guns fell silent."

Barack Obama In Baltimore

Tough day at the office today. I was up at 5:00 a.m. and in Baltimore, Maryland by 8:00. The temperature was 12′. I was 300th in line to witness the historic visit of President Elect Barack Obama as he made his way by train to Washington, DC. He was scheduled to arrive at 4:15 in the afternoon. This made for some creative use of hand warmers. I taped them to my D300 battery grip in order to keep the camera running. While planning/packing for this shoot, I had several built in parameters: the cold, the wait, the security and the crowd.

I wore three layers of pants, three layers of wool socks, five layers on my upper body, two layers of gloves, face mask and two layers of hats. I still froze. Do the math for the wait time.

The crowd was very good natured. They sang songs and there was a very celebratory mood. Fun. The plaza were Barack spoke held 30,000.
