Intro for Pete Souza Pete Souza is a freelance photographer based in the Washington, DC, area and is the former director of the White House Photography Office. He previously was a national photographer for the Chicago Tribune, a freelancer for National Geographic, and an official White House photographer for President Ronald Reagan. He is the author of six photography books, including, Obama: An Intimate Portrait, which debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. It is one of the best-selling photography books of all time. His new book, "Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents," was published in October 2018. In addition to his work in the White House, Souza has covered stories around the world. After 9/11, he was among the first journalists to cover the fall of Kabul, Afghanistan, after crossing the Hindu Kush mountains by horseback in three feet of snow. A few stats on Pete’s work during his tenure with President Obama: Two million photographs captured of the president 1.5 million miles logged on Air Force One Visited all 50 states on assignment Touched down in over 50 countries around the globe During this time, Pete was an eye-witness to history, including capturing the historic image of President Obama and his advisors in the Situation Room during the Osama bin Laden mission, interactions with world leaders, and intimate and unguarded moments with the presidents’ family. All in all, Pete has produced a body of work un-matched in the modern time and has set the highest bar for Presidential photography. Please join me in giving a warm welcome to Pete Souza .

Hello, and Welcome to Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY
Hello, and welcome to Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY. Our museum features a wide variety of American art, including folk art, fine art, American Indian art, and photography. This fall, the Fenimore is fortunate to be showcasing the special exhibit, Pete Souza: Two Presidents, One Photographer. Pete Souza was the official White House photographer for two extremely influential presidents on opposite ends of the political spectrum: Republican Ronald Reagan, our 40th president from 1981 to 1989, and Democrat Barack Obama, our 44th president and first African American president, from 2009 to 2016. Souza had unprecedented access while photographing these two men, recording moments that were central not only to their own lives but to the history of the United States and even the entire world. In this program, we'll explore some of these photographs and dig deeper into the moments they capture. Before his life as a politician, Ronald Reagan was an actor in Hollywood, playing parts in many films in the 1940s and 1950s. He became more and more politically active, and in 1967 he was elected Governor of California as a Republican. He remained in this position until 1975 and the next year he made his first attempt to run for president but he would have to wait for the 1980 campaign for it to become a reality, defeating Jimmy Carter handily in the electoral vote, carrying 44 of the 50 states. Pete Souza became one of Reagan's official white house photographers in 1983, and soon afterwards he found himself recording the events after the deadliest attack against US Marines since world war two.

A PHOTOJOURNALIST on ASSIGNMENT by PETE SOUZA
A PHOTOJOURNALIST ON ASSIGNMENT by PETE SOUZA B.S., Boston University, 1976 A REPORT submitted in partial fulﬁllment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE School of Journalism and Mass Communications College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2006 Approved by: Major Professor Robert Meeds Copyright PETER J. SOUZA 2006 Please note: Some of the photographs in this report are previously copywritten by the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, The Chanute Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and Pete Souza Photography. They are used here with permission. Abstract This report is based on an exhibition of 37 photographs at the Kemper Gallery in the Student Union of Kansas State University. All photographs presented here and in the exhibit were created during the past 28 years of my career. Hence the exhibit is a mid-career retrospective. My photojournalism experience is very unique in that I am the only photojournalist in the world who has worked as a presidential photographer, published photo essays in National Geographic Magazine as a free- lancer, and been on the staff of a large metro newspaper. The photographs chosen for the exhibit were high- lighted by, but not limited to, assignments from those three experiences. This report mirrors the exhibit except for a few additional photographs that, because of space limita- tions, didnʼt make it into the ﬁnal edit for the exhibit. There are three sections: Moments from Kansas to Papua New Guinea, The Presidency, and After 9/11. The “moments” section presents a wide variety of photographs from a wide variety of assignments.

Obama and the Great Progressive Disconnect
14 Pathways Spring 2010 OBAMA AND THE GREAT PROGRESSIVE DISCONNECT Barack Obama came to power as the candidate of hope, promising to bring change to America. Many individuals, causes, and groups tethered their political ambitions to the candidacy of the one-term senator from Illinois, now the forty- fourth—and first African American—president of the United States. Yet, as his first full year in office comes to a close, there are more and more signs of discontent on the left. Indeed, in some liberal quarters, there is rising doubt that Obama has proven to be, borrowing a phrase from the campaign, “the change we’ve been waiting for.” The critique from the left is as misplaced, self-indulgent, and polit- ically naïve as the critique of Obama from the right has been intran- sigent, irrational, and corrosive of the democratic process. The attack from the right was more foreseeable and in that narrow sense is more excusable. The rumblings on the left, for me, are harder to fathom and thus need be viewed in context. This is particularly true when viewed through the lens of Obama’s impact on racial and ethnic inequality— an area where Obama and his administration’s policies present a stark By Lawrence D.
