I photographed the crowd at Manuel’s Tavern in Atlanta during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Manuel’s has always been a hotbed of politics in the Atlanta area thanks in part to Manuel Maloof, the man who opened the bar and also held political office in the city. These are some of my favorite images.
