Congratulation to Barbara Kinney on the publication of his new book. "#Still With Her; Hillary Rodham Clinton and the moments that triggered a movement. This is a 268-page book containing some great photographs that Kinney took during the Clinton campaign for the 2016 presidency. Anyone interested in quality photography will want this book.

The book is written by Sandra Sobieraj Westfall with an introduction by Clinton and short essays by those who have known and supported her, including: John West, Cécile Richards, Jamie Curtis Lee, Chad Griffin and Mary Steenburgen, among others. But it's a photo book and they are incredible. When they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, they clearly speak of those taken by Kinney. They make you laugh and cry; they bring back good memories and leave you wanting more. She dedicates the book to 65,845,063 who voted for Clinton.
