A Wrighter's Life

There will always be people who rise way, way above the bunch.

I have always been raving about Pete Souza’s photojournalism, and I won’t tire of praising his work over and over again, especially in historic times as this.  

News of Osama bin Laden’s death came; the video of President Obama addressing televisions around the world has aired; but it was Pete Souza’s photos in the White House that could really give anyone a significant peek into what was going on moments before and after what the rest of the world saw on video.

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE FLICKR ACCOUNT: Key officials of the national security team, including Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, as they were “[receiving] an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House, May 1, 2011.”

I know, I’m a fangirl just like that.
