Nice gig, if you can get it….
On long Air Force One flights, [President Obama] retreats to the conference room and plays spades for hours, maintaining a trash-talking contest all the while, with the same three aides: Reggie Love, his personal assistant; Marvin Nicholson, his trip director; and Pete Souza, his White House photographer.

This slideshow is a few months old, but still worth a look. Funny what you can do with a collection of images.

In 1980, in what can only be described as fortuitous, Occidental College undergrad Lisa Jack photographed a freshman named Barry Obama for a portrait project. It’s now nearly 30 years later, Barry is President of the United States Barack Obama, and the collection is being shown at M+B gallery in West Hollywood.
The exhibit – showing Obama in a fedora, smoking a cigarette, looking smooth – marks the first time the collection is on display (they were featured as part of Time Magazine’s 2008 “Person of the Year” issue). The gallery describes the set as taken during the future president’s soul-searching period. Or soulful period?
“Barack Obama: The Freshman” is at M+B through August 29.

I don’t want to just be a bandwagoneeer, but there are things about this presidential administration that have really impressed me. There is a hackneyed old phrase that comes to mind, but I’ll use it anyway: breath of fresh air.
In an interesting – and unprecedented – move, the White House created a Flickr account and uploaded 299 photos this week. We see President Obama in situations a rare few have access to: in the White House movie theater, waiting in the Blue Room before a press conference, on Air Force One, in his private study. The photos are, collectively and individually, quite awesome.
This president doesn’t seem to have a problem with cameras, and amazingly, wants people to see what’s going on at the White House – he seems to be encouraging, dare I say it, openness. They’ve even enabled comments! Now that’s an interesting tack for a government official….
The man behind the camera is the White House’s official photographer, Pete Souza.
Phew, That’s Over

Now that Sarah Palin is set for the Dan Quayle-style annals of obscurity, President-Elect Obama is charged with the gargantuan task of fixing this busted country. Thanks for the memories, Bush & Co.!
