Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., walks down Kailua Beach in August with Marty Nesbitt, his friend and campaign treasurer. "It was actually a bit of a cloudy day, rays of sun shooting through the clouds on the water," photographer Mike Burley recalls. "Most people left him alone, and he continued walking along the beach. He had this look of relaxation on his face, he looked very happy to take a vacation." (Mike Burley, The Honolulu Star-Bulletin)
