OBAMANIA How did you conceive this serie?

It came to my mind during a trip to Miami. I found this little Obama figurine. I wanted to share this particular, symbolic and historic moment. It was beyond all expectations.

And people played the game...

I started to take pictures of my family, then my friends, and then, in the twinkling of an eye, everyone wanted his own picture with Obama... The buzz around him was so huge. Martin Luther King’s dream has come true.

Of course, everyone wanted to take part in it!

Is Barack Obama a source of inspiration?

Being myself biracial, I wanted to believe as much as possible.

But everything is possible in the United States, for better or worse… This is the American paradox. I guess 24 really foretold what was going to happen : David Palmer has shown us the way! Obama is more than a source of inspiration, he’s an amazing perspective for our future. « Yes we did » www.adeadjou.com
