Sunday photo supplement: TIME’s best Obama pictures
TIME magazine has compiled an online gallery of its best Barack Obama photographs. Which is great, as long as you have the patience to work through the supreeeemely irritating ad that appears between every picture. No mind: here are my favourites:
All of the photos above were taken by Callie Shell. As was this one, which I just love, but which didn’t make it into TIME’s gallery:
You can see more of Shell’s brilliant photographs from the campaign trail here (note: keep clicking ‘Show more images’). In fact, it’s better than the TIME gallery because the pictures are larger, and include fascinating insights from Shell. There are also no supreeemely irritating ads.

Brilliant as ever. You took my very small idea, and made it quite frankly great. There’s even some images I haven’t seen before, and having hundreds of images saved away that surprised me. I really love Joe’s page. The one with the little girl, is so sweet. And a bit of Ellen too.
And a link to my humble site, how sweet are you??…
BTW- Did you venture to the newsagents today? The Times had a photo mag special of BHO. Nothing to beat your efforts though.

haha! I didn’t see that. dammit. great minds think alike.
glad you like the galleries, there are sooooo many photos in the Flickr sets that those aren’t even the tip of the photographic iceberg. I would have dearly loved to have included some of those Getty/AP ones you suggested but just didn’t dare risk it. hopefully Time won’t get on my case (I think it’s a little different when you’re using them to illustrate a particular gallery you then link to, as opposed to simply lifting them).
thanks again for the suggestion.
