I am glad that this book got published. It remains to be seen if future Presidents will insist on micro-managing photography the way the current occupant had done. History will be loser.

Despite a phalanx of photojournalists covering the unfolding events of news and world history, it is only a rarified few that have the privilege The Presidents Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office being tapped to be the official White House photographer. Often times, being the only other person in the room provides for glimpses of the humanity of the job that most never get to see from the preset spotlight of the job. In addition to covering the public ceremonies, the photographers featured here — David Hume Kennerly, David Valdez, Bob McNeely, Yoichi Okamoto, Eric Draper and centerpiece, Pete Souza — have all contributed work that shows the private side of their various bosses in ways heretofore never before seen. Oct 07, Alicia rated it really liked it. As a professional photographer and self-proclaimed history nerd, when I first heard about this book it piqued my interest. I wasn't let down! Great images from presidential photographers, and more writing than I had expected, which was a nice surprise. I enjoyed learning about the day-to-day of a White House photographer, and also hearing what it's like during the more monumental days. It's interesting to note that the president's photographer usually has more clearance to be with the president th As a professional photographer and self- proclaimed history nerd, when I first heard about this book it piqued my interest. It's interesting to note that the president's photographer usually has more clearance to be with the president than The Presidents Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office of his staff. For example, President Obama's photographer, Pete Souza who plays the main role in this book can practically come and go as he pleases during meetings, lunches, even some family time. He's there to capture history, and the president knows that. Dec 13, Darla rated it really liked it. This book was an interesting glimpse into the role of presidential photographer. The primary photographer is working for President Obama, but there are also The Presidents Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office which describe the evolution of the role of the president's photographer along with anecdotes from the men who worked for Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, G Bush, Clinton and GW Bush. LBJ's photographer was quite a character and really set the bar high for his predecessors. An interesting fact is Carter choosing not to have a photographer This book was an interesting glimpse into the role of presidential photographer. An interesting fact is Carter choosing not to have a photographer taking shots to document his administration preferring to leave it up to the press. I wonder if he regrets his decision. Nov 06, Sara rated it it was amazing. Fascinating photographs from most of the modern Presidencies since The text of the book discusses the photographers of Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Reagan, both Bushes, and Obama - and discusses the different approach taken by Nixon and Carter with regard to access for photos. Anyone interested in photography or the The Presidents Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office American Presidency would enjoy this book. Apr 23, Maria rated it it was amazing Shelves:historypoliticsnon-fiction. This book had a lovely layout between photos and text, although I The Presidents Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office wish a little bit that there had been more photos. I never thought about the president's photographer before, although I have followed Pete Souza on Instagram for a couple of months now. This books gives a portrait on how beautiful photographs are made in the White House, and the dedication that comes with it. Nov 25, Kelly rated it liked it Shelves: library-bookphotographicusa. A little disappointing. The photos are interesting and the overall history of how the President's photographer came to be was interesting as well. But this specific book has more dialogue than photos, and most of that dialogue covers Obama's health reform bill. I watched the television documentary and preferred that. Dec 03, Tom rated it it was amazing. I'm accustomed to candid shots of our president and found it remarkable how recent the ritual. Extraordinary photographers gain personal trust. Invisible lens give priceless views inside "the bubble" of the First Family. Jul 26, Caro Griffin rated it really liked it Shelves: nonfiction. Surpasses the usual photo book by providing more context than captions allow. The books weaves two narratives around the photos: a few days in the life of Obama's chief photographer, Pete Souza, and the history of photography in the White House. Jan 01, Sarah Begley rated it it was amazing. This is such an amazing recount of photography in the White House. Not The Presidents Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office are we presented with beautiful photographs, but also with the stories of the President's personal photographers. The recounts add so much depth to a President's term. Absolutely fascinating. May 16, Jennifer rated it really liked it. Great inside view of the White House and memorable photos!

Souza covered Obama's arrival to the Senate in and met him for the The Presidents Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office time on Obama's first day in the Senate. He documented Obama's time in the Senate, following him in many foreign trips, including those to KenyaSouth Africaand Russia. In the process he not only became close to Senator Obama, he ended up following his rise to the presidency. Souza was an assistant professor of photojournalism at Ohio University 's School of Visual Communication [7] After the November election, he was asked to become the official White House photographer for his second time for the new President-elect Obama. The photos were initially posted with a Creative Commons Attribution license which required that the original photographers be credited. Flickr later created a new license which identified them as "United States Government Work" which does not carry any copyright restrictions. InNational Geographic produced a program about Souza titled The President's Photographer, which featured Souza as the main subject while also covering the previous White House photographers. Jacob asked if Obama's hair was similar to his and the image has become symbolic of the African American struggle for civil rights. As the official White House photographer, Souza traveled with the president to document each meeting, trip and encounter for historical record.

  • 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 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.

    First Lady Michelle Obama at the unveiling of the Sojourner Truth bronze bust at the US Capitol. AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta,. African Americans have played pivotal roles in American history. Their intellect, artistry, resilience and strength have been central to the American experience. This month we celebrate African Americans for their remarkable contributions to the character of our Nation.

  • 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.
