Photo of the day: "Yes We Can," by "mbaltstiel"

Yes We Can, by mbaltstiel

Today's photo of the day is entitled "Yes We Can," and is by someone who at Flickr goes only by the online handle "mbaltstiel." This is a shot of a banner Chicagoans have been seeing more and more around the city in the last month, based on an original design by underground hiphop visual artist Shepard Fairey. Just a week until Inauguration! Finally!

Don't forget that I actually maintain a whole page of favorite photographs over at Flickr, for those who would like to see more. To express an interest in having your own work featured, just drop me a line at cclapcenter [at] gmail.com.

Have your own photo you'd like to share? Post it to the CCLAPocracy, the center's new community-driven microblog. Membership is free!
