Photos thus far

Click on the photo below for shots I’ve taken since arriving Washington. The weather/light wasn’t great today – very grey and overcast – which never makes for very good pictures (at least on a little 800 ISO Ixus), but still. There are ones from the inaugural concert – I watched it from up near the Washington Monument – and the light afterwards, as I walked down the Mall and approached the Capitol, was, actually, lovely, as a beautiful sunset was forming. My favourite view was the Monet-esque frozen Reflection Pool:

All the President’s men. And women

This is very cool.

Nice to put a face to the name of Jon Favreau. Or rather: the correct face. As opposed to the face of this Jon Favreau.

The official inauguration Flickr page

The Presidential Inauguration Committee has set up a page on Flickr “giving you an in-depth look into the 56th Presidential Inauguration. Browse our many photo albums – see the daily progress made on the Inauguration site at the Capitol, archival photos of past inaugurations and pictures of President-elect Barack Obama.” As per here:

I will also be setting up a, erm, set on my personal Flickr page when I head over to Washington on January 16th, so watch this space. Or, rather: this space.

More great photos from TIME

(Well, I couldn’t leave you with a photo of GWB on New Year’s Day, now, could I?)

I’ve just stumbled across TIME magazine’s behind-the-scenes White House photo blog. It’s addictively clickable – and includes this cute shot of Obama by Callie Shell:

as well as the resulting photograph:

This man is the next President of the United States

In a word: cooooool.

In more than a word: I think this picture symbolises what I once wrote about BHO being simultaneously very gifted and yet also very normal. It doesn’t get more gifted than becoming the first African-American POTUS at the age of 47; and more normal than shooting hoops. Mind you, he even looks gifted doing that. The clever bugger.

There are more wonderful pictures here. I particularly like the one at the deli counter. (Hat-tip: Hugh Matkin.)

Sunday photo supplement: TIME’s best Obama pictures

Andrea — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 10:57:05 +0000

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.

Sunday photo supplement: Joe the Biden

Some highlights from the thousands (probably) of photographs at Barack Obama’s Flickr page:

Sunday photo supplement: The best shot of the campaign?

Andrea — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 10:03:31 +0000

Following last Sunday’s art special, at the suggestion of England For Obama friend Darrell Morris, today’s post are devoted to photos of Barack Obama And Friends.

And much as I’d like to include dozens of beautiful shots from the likes of AP and Reuters, little things like ‘copyright law’ prevent me from doing so. But I’m going to try and sneak in one exception – this now-famous photograph from Getty Images, which was taken after a townhall discussion at North Farmington High School in Michigan on September 8:

(Peruse Getty, AP, Reuters and other images of Barack to your heart’s content here on Dailylife.com.)
