Send your inauguration message to President Obama

In the excitement after the US presidential election, we set up a Flickr group for people to send their messages to Barack Obama, the then president-elect.

It caught the mood. Hundreds of pictures were collected in the first day, from those who disagreed with the incoming leader, from those who worried for him and, of course, from many who were simply delighted.

In the last few days, activity has increased again. So if you have a message for the new president and can't make it Washington for the inauguration party, you can add it to the Flickr group here.

It's too late to get in the (first edition of) or our Message for Obama book. But you can buy it, perhaps as an inauguration memento.
