Official White House Photo Stream

Post by flip-flop »

I know some won't be interested but I found the behind the scenes photos pretty interesting and surprisingly unedited/staged. Interesting acces, even if you don't necessarily agree with the current administration politically.

You can add this as a contact if you have a flickr account but I don't think you need one to see the photos.

Thanks for the pictures FlipFlop.

And a voice from a European:

I think that Obama has handled his first 100 days extremely well. I know that he perhaps cannot show actual results yet, but there is a new optimistic spirit in the world, which for me makes the future looks brighter. As I have hoped for, he tries to find a “new way”. The old way “ if your not with us, your against us” hasn’t showed good results, so you need to try something else. And I’m sure that he has the courage and the intelligence to change "his way" too, if it should be necessary.

You can be proud of your new president.

The White House photo team is headed up by Pete Souza, he is a photo jounalist who worked for the Chicago Tribune and also was Reagan's photographer as well.
He also did a book on Obama during his senate time through his campaign. He is one of the best photographers in Washington with many years of experience. His main job is to document the President for historical purposes and very rarely does he do posed shots, that was his agreement before taking the job.

He was on GMA the other morning, which is how I ended up finding the photostream. Cool guy, cool shots. Amazing access. I love that behind the scenes stuff so much better than the posed, official pics.
