    The Pete Souza documentary was brilliant too.

    He really understands the importance of having his own photographer. He/his team can decide what images are put out of him. I've seen Romney's stuff - all badly taken, 'amateur', 'grassroots' level stuff. It looks awful. Makes the whole thing look amateurish.

    Obama's show a nice balance between professionalism, dignity and humour.
    You can't put a price on that.

    Do all US presidents not have their own photographer, no?

    I thought it was part of the package?

    Yeah but they only get one 8x10, $100 a pop for a framed 6x4 after that. Jerks !

    I'm sure it's a very carefully chosen selection of shots. It's a great testament to what a photographer can do with practically unfettered access to a prominent figure, but I'm willing to bet there are quite a few shots that Souza would love to put out there that he's not allowed ...
