Photographic record of the Bush Presidency. ∞
Errol Morris at the New York Times has posted a fantastic photographic record of George W. Bush’s presidency.
During the last week of the Bush administration, I asked the head photo editors of these news services — Vincent Amalvy AFP, Santiago Lyon AP and Jim Bourg Reuters — to pick the photographs of the president that they believe captured the character of the man and of his administration. There are overlapping pictures — of the president with a bullhorn at Ground Zero, of the president looking out the window of Air Force One over New Orleans, of the president receiving the news on the morning of 9/11. It is interesting that these pictures are different. They may be of the same scene, but they have different content. They speak in a different way.
The photos often speak for themselves, but the reasoning or story behind each image is also given, which is fascinating.
