I covered the Inauguration for EPA (European Pressphoto Agency) on Monday. I roamed the Mall for most of the day, looking for features and reaction. Later in the evening, I was assigned to one of the Inaugural Balls. On Tuesday morning, I was at the National Cathedral to cover President Obama during the National Prayer Service.
