Last week I made the trip out to the South Dakota capital, Pierre, for Gov. Dennis Daugaard's State of the State speech.
I had never been inside the capital building, so that was kind of an experience. Very ornate, and beautiful.
It was kind of a day of firsts for me. Not only was it my first time in the capital building, but it was actually my first time covering any sort of political speech of this nature. Also, after covering the State of the State speech I made the drive out to Rapid City, which was another two-and-a-half hours, for another assignment.
Anyway, it was pretty interesting cover the State of the State speech. It was a bit overwhelming, but nothing to crazy. I'm happy with my take, and am ready if I have the opportunity to cover it next year.
Enough talk, though. Here are some of my favorite frames from Gov. Dennis Daugaard's State of the State speech.
Thanks for looking.
