White House photography

PBS had an amazing 2hr presentation of Pete Souza’s time as White House Photographer for 2 presidents last night (10/16/2020). What an amazing look into the world of American politics through photography. I am interested in what Pete’s favorite cameras, lenses, and settings he used as he captured the essence of the Man and the Job.

We watched this wonderful program last evening--- I believe he uses CANON cameras--(recognized at least one)
It was a most enjoyable and inspiring documentary--- now I am wishing to own "The book!"

In the early '70s, I had the privilege of spending my Army time working at the White House Photo Lab which at the time was on M-street in Georgetown. It was a tri-military organization made up of army, navy, and air force personnel. We processed all the White House photographers' film. My job was to print the "jumbo" 20x24" prints that hung in the halls of the White House. When Nixon did his trips to Russia and China, the film was rushed back to us and we had it processed, printed and hung even before the president returned. We had Tricia's wedding album made in time for her to take it on her honeymoon. I wonder how things are different what with everything digital now. Ahhh, the memories!

MSNBC broadcast this documentary too. The film is entitled "The Way I See It."
I can say it was outstanding from the perspective of studying masterful photojournalism (and also inspired hope for a soon-to-be achieved return to normalcy and a better future for our country).

I thought it sucked. His political comments ruined the presentation and to me, just denigrated him to "just another photographer". His images are no better than I could have done with my cell phone.
