Souza has an excellent eye...

I am a sucker for black and white photos and this is close enough. Love this!!

I started this with B&W, then hit the wrong button and lost the thread...

Here's one



Thanks CD~

Spectacular!

Love this thread... both the photographer and the subject. The President is very photogenic.

With the presidential seal!

It's a requirement a stress reducer, basketball blows away the strain and the stain that the baggers leave behind.



Thank you for your picture! Sweet~

with a great model! No wonder the pix are so great.

are definitely nice to look at. I like all the photos and appreciate the OP. The angle on that airplane one is pretty spectacular, too.

What a great job Souza has!

I love our President!

Thank you for posting, sheshe, and thanks to Pete Souza, the perfect photographer to capture our President's spirit and essence.

Peace.

I can't pick just one! But the photo of him at the lecturn in the rain shows great grit and determination. I admire that.

Thank you for these.


Yay! my 5000th post! I wanted to use it on an important thread.

The picture of President Obama on the Rosa Parks Bus is the wallpaper on my computer. It keeps me focused.

But what you don't see are pictures of him palling around with at lavish parties for the well connected. Him making smug faces.

This is a serious man for serious times.

talented creative person with his camera. The subject matter is not bad, either.

Oh, the Photo-Journal books he'll have after President Barack Obama leaves Office~

Thank you for the gorgeous thread, she.

Tweet from the Pete Souza link, she..

Obama photographer Pete Souza gets hitched in White House wedding...so who took the pictures?

"Obama's official photographer Pete Souza got a presumably picture perfect wedding at the White House Rose Garden Saturday night, hosted by the commander-in-chief.

White House Military Chaplain Stanley Fornea officiated the marriage celebration for Souza and his bride, Patti Lease.

Roughly 35 guests attended the ceremony for the man who has captured some of Obama's most poignant moments in office.

As of yet, no photos have emerged of the happy occasion"

His first began snapping shots of Obama in 2005, when he started chronicling the Illinois politician in the U.S. Senate.

The working relationship flourished and the pair have been together ever since.

Mahalo, she You take some pretty good pics yourself, sheshe~

I don't recall having seen Sousa's likeness before.

Along the same lines, the third picture from the top, where the President stands in the doorway: One of my fondest hobbies is writing captions for photos. If that had been a picture of ME, there'd be only one possible caption: "Let's see now... What did I come in here for?"

This is the first time I have seen a picture of Souza. I always heard that great photographers carry at least two cameras so that they do not waste time changing lenses. I have a nice Canon, but I am constantly changing lenses and lose a lot of good shots that way. I'll have to show this to hubby and drop a lot of hints around Christmas time!

Thanks, freshwest, you hit the nail on the head "other Worldly".

Wow all that bright and shining blue, for our Democratic President!

amazing photos, just for kicks I try to imagine "other" politicians doing the same kind of things...especially with the babies and kids...not many could pull it off because it's not an act. It's from the inside.
