There's some interesting pictures in this YouTube video:

A&E Biography - Barack Obama 2 of 9 (5:21)

There's the same baby pic posted at #6425 (the professional type) at 00:21 -- Parents not included.

There's also an interesting sequence of photos starting at 2:34, including the "Soetoro family in Indonesia" bench photo we've seen a thousand times, followed by a different pose of Barry, Ann and Maya only; then an outdoor shot of Barry holding Maya, in which he's wearing the same shirt and pendant as the bench photo; and finally another outdoor shot at 3:08, of Barry alone, holding some sort of sticks, in the same outfit.

At 4:24 there's Barry in a "Mixed Races" shot at Ponnahu, with the Afro that David Mendell (one of the narrators) wrote about in "From Promise to Power."

The most interesting shot is at 4:41 -- Lolo, Ann and Maya. Ann is wearing the same dress and is in the same location as this shot in that Chicago Trib photo album, labeled "Stanley Dunham, Stanley Ann, Maya and Barack Obama in Hawaii in the early 1970s." (The same shot is used at 4:45 in the video, but Stanley Dunham, who should be on the left, is cropped out.)

Finally, there's a shot of Ann and probably Maya at a zoo somewhere, with possibly Lolo cropped out except for his arm, at 5:04.

Most of the photos have little relation to the narrative and they're all over the place chronologically, but it's obvious that most of them have been strategically cropped.

I haven't looked at all 9 parts (my stomach can't handle it all at once), but there's a picture of Ann, a young (five or six-year old?) Barry and Madelyn in Hawaii at 00:30 in Part 1 that's interesting. Ann has a lei on, and a white dress. Barry has a tie on, and Madelyn's also dressed up. Wedding day to Lolo? Airport arrival/departure? That's followed with a "Barry dresses as a Luo" shot with Michelle(?).

They all go by ultra-fast, so be sure to keep your mouse over the stop button.

I tried to grab a couple of those pics you referenced - here:

I'm thinking this 2nd one could be her college graduation (?).

Actually, that sort of makes sense if you are using the same roll of film, you just snap and snap until the roll is used up.
