America's a funny old place huh? It must be a dream for photographers like Christopher Morris.
Morris is perhaps best-known for his war photojournalism, but since 2000 he has set about recordinging the political peculiarities of his homeland. He has documented the travels of George W Bush for Time Magazine and covered the recent campaigns of both John McCain and Barrack Obama.
To coincide with the run up to the Presidential Election on 4th November, the results of both of Morris' projects are on display this month at HOST Gallery. Instead of the big 'iconic' shots however, these images focus on the smaller details that only an insider would know and see. Fascinating stuff.
Until 15.11.08.
