According to Pete Souza, they are posed images, not candid. What shines for me in this documentary, is the images of Obamas empathy, compassion and integrity.


Those shots were great.

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).

It seemed to me to emphasize the perceived difference and emphasis in lifestyle, values, and pardon the pun- folkus

Don't know, but he would have a very difficult time if he was photographing the White House now just trying to get the color "ORANGE" right😆

MDI Mainer--Never for doubted for a second that you didn't mean what you said or you wouldn't have said it. Still your, repeat your, definition of normal.

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!

You have an amazing opportunity and experience. You probably saw many images that no one else has ever seen.

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.


How sickeningly transparent ...

Hi Tomcat:

Since you seriously believe that your photos taken by a cell phone are better than Pete Souza's photos, perhaps you should apply for the job of the next white house photographer.

My wife and I were married the exact same day as Tricia and Ed Cox. Our nuptials did not get near the coverage theirs did, but we're still hitched.

I heard that MSNBC will re-broadcast the show on 10/24, though it may be late at night for east coast viewers. I really enjoyed seeing it -- his was a demanding job, with long and unpredictable hours.

My cable guides confirms, a 2-hour broadcast at 11pm Central (10/24/2020) / 12am Eastern (Sat 10/25). Set a DVR.

Likely would blow out the white balance circuitry unless maybe you had a Zenit.

Very interesting and is that John Prine on the lower left of his computer screen?

Why he chose Canon, some technique and philosophy of what he was trying to do:
