Today I had the opportunity to take a few pictures from an observation deck at Hampton’s City Hall.

For quite some time I have wanted to take a picture of the municipal building using natural borders, specifically, the bushes that surround city hall. As I was searching for a respectable angle, a man asked me about what I was specifically shooting. To my surprise, this man turned out to be none other than George Wallace, mayor of our illustrious city. Mayor Wallace then asked how I would feel about taking a few pictures from his office’s observation deck. How could I say no?

What made this occasion even more mind-blowing was that there were not only extraordinary views from the deck, but also, I could not help but notice the utter composure of our Mayor. During my short time with him, I noticed that Mayor Wallace had some form of a relationship with every person in the building. His compassion for his colleagues exemplifies how all of our representatives should carry themselves. I mean this man took the time out of his day to give me the opportunity to take pictures from his personal office perch! For me, that was experiencing Christmas in July!

I would like to take this time out to personally thank Mayor George Wallace for giving me such an opportunity today. Kudos to you!
