I saw that father interviewed on a news show and he is the one that took that photograph---not a photographer or a reporter or anything. He sent it out in an email to several friends and they asked him if they could send it to the local paper. The picture and story got spread around that way.
I absolutely love this story about the President. He took time out of a busy schedule for this girl and her father and it really does show his heart. You can see it in the picture.
"he is the one that took that photograph"
yes, he said he just held the camera up and shot; thought he might get shoes or the sky; but instead, it is absolutely perfect.
Talk about a candid shot capturing the essence of the man . . .
I don't see how "security moms" can see this ad, or even the still photo, without tears . . .
