Description of Pictures: Obama: An Intimate Portrait by Pete Souza
Former White House photographer, Pete Souza has collected more than three hundred of his most iconic photographs into a comprehensive visual chronicle of the Obama presidency. These photographs, some of which have never been published, document the most momentous hours of Mr. Obama's terms in office—including historic images of President Obama and his advisors, moments with his family, encounters with children, as well as dealings with international leaders and cultural figures. Copies of the book will be available for sale ($50.00) and signing courtesy of Smithsonian Enterprises
Dream Big Dreams: Photographs from Barack Obama's Inspiring and Historic Presidency by Pete Souza (for young readers) will also be available for $21.99.
After Souza's presentation, he was interviewed by Aaron Bryant, Curator of Photography, NMAAHC.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
