Something really intrigues me about that photo. I think it's the fact that President Bush is in focus with Mrs. Bush slightly out of focus in the background but very easily distinguishable. Artistically there's a message there. Something about it defines the role Laura has in Pres. Bush's life: not dominating his role as President as a former first lady did, but solidly there by his side, both looking forward together with purpose (not looking backward nor inward), while also companionably enjoying the joys they encounter on the whole journey.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but I think that's one of the things defines true art: something that has a message for each viewer. :)

Exactly. That photo truly transcends mere news photography. It's a work of art.
