Portrait of Presidency

Pete Souze, kepala fotografer White House, baru-baru ini membagi-bagi koleksi foto Presiden Barack Obama hasil jepretan timnya kepada publik, dan hatiku (meminjam istilah Nita) langsung menghangat :')

I share you some of my favorites.

"A former President once said, 'Presidents don't get vacations, they just get a change of scenery.'  We were on 'vacation' in Martha's Vineyard and the President was monitoring Hurricane Irene with John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, at right in light blue shirt, on Aug. 26, 2011. They were waiting for a conference call on the hurricane with affected governors and mayors."

"Visiting the Great Buddha of Kamakura, in Japan, the President had a green tea ice cream bar with his hosts, Nov. 14, 2010. He had visited this Buddha as a young child and said he remembered sitting in the exact same place having an ice cream bar."

"I can still hear these Irish girls screaming, 'Barack! Barack! Michelle! Michelle!' It reminded me of the old black and white video footage of American girls screaming at the Beatles in concert. These girls were cheering as the President and First Lady took the stage at the College Green in Dublin, Ireland, May 23, 2011."

"We were on a freight elevator headed to one of the Inaugural Balls on Jan. 20, 2009. It was quite chilly, so the President removed his tuxedo jacket and put it over the shoulders of his wife. Then they had a semi-private moment as staff member and Secret Service agents tried not to look (AHAHAHA! -L)."

"We were walking through a locker room at the University of Texas on August 9, 2010, when White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson stopped to weigh himself on a scale. Unbeknownst to him, the President was stepping on the back of the scale, as Marvin continued to slide the scale lever. Everyone but Marvin was in on the joke."

and my ultimate favorite...

Bestimitation, Leony: Embuuuur. Dan kalo lo perhatiin, foto-foto Obama ini nggak rapih-rapih amat komposisi dan dll-nya. Tapi si fotografer sakseis nangkep momen-momen syantiks :) Emang biasanya it's either kerapihan atau momen sih...
