The photography of Trump's presidency is a huge break from Obama's
The Verge ^ | April 2, 2017 | Sean O'Kane

Many of the most iconic photos of Barack Obama’s presidency came from Pete Souza, the official White House photographer. Granted extensive access to Obama, he shot the Osama Bin Laden war room photo, moments the president shared with Michelle Obama, the many famous images of the president interacting with kids, and countless more. These carefully composed photos so defined the public image of Obama that it nearly made Souza a household name.

In its visual representation, as in so many other respects, the Trump administration has made a break with the past. Most of what we see of Trump comes from either the traveling pool of press photographers or the smartphones of his staff...

The new administration does have an official photographer in Shealah Craighead, who was hired in late January. She was the personal photographer for first lady Laura Bush, as well as the photo editor for Vice President Dick Cheney...

souza is a famous photographer- and has taken many iconic photographs- We throw up a little each time we have to see the previous president, but souza did take some pretty stunning photos- it’s just too bad it had to include that president- He did take some pretty cool photos with the flag and lighting just right etc- but again- it just sucks that they included the previous president- he shoulda saved his talent for this president

Disrespectful. I hope Trump never does that.

More than that. Bottom of the shoe is total disrespect to a mooselimb. Remember when they threw a shoe at boosche?

That's barkie!

The best thing about obama being out of office is there are no photos of him being seen. He was everywhere for 8 years!!
He was the Milo before Milo. Now they are both gone! Good!
The only photo I want to see of obama is the one with him in handcuffs.

Such a classy president we had for 8 years!

It’s a relief that he’s gone. What a horrible 8 years that was.

clinton for 8 was bad enough- but at least ‘somewhat tolorable’ until the oval or office debacle- but 8 years of obama was simply brutal-

That’s a siloeutte of Obama looking at the moon? I thought it was two satellite dishes hanging on a stick.

Taking a picture of Trump at his desk with a single sheet of paper on it, that he is reading, would be a huge change from obama.

I wondering how many times Obama had the photog re-take that “war room” pic so he could appear “in command” with the right facial expression.

How cute. The first pic looks exactly like the Kenyan baby pics from when he was in the Sally Struthers commercials.

What is wrong with #2? My eyes are still waking up this morning.

The following Saturday (August 25th) is the free public star party hosted by the Kern Astronomical Society at Russo's Books in the Marketplace. By then the Moon will be a couple of days past first quarter so more than half of the Moon will appear to be lit by the Sun (i.e., more than half of the Moon's daylit side will be facing us). The free star party begins shortly after sunset and goes until about 10 PM. The Moon, Mars, Saturn, and other objects such as star clusters and double stars will be on the list of things to check out through the KAS telescopes. See the KAS website for a map to the location.
