I only got to photograph the President once, from a distance. Here are a couple of the shots:

Photographs of Bush, with commentary by the photographers who followed him for 8 or 9 years. Quite the contrast with Barry.

My pleasure.
Bump for later
How I miss this man. A President we can be proud of and trust.
Thank You, it helped me forget about homie the clown for awhile
That was beautiful. In tears here. Thank you for posting.
Wow, that was beautiful. I miss him so much.
I NEVER LOST that sense of refreshment for the 8 years Bush occupied the Oval. Not for an instant.
God bless him
Thanks for the great post.
GWB loved God, loved his wife and family, and loved his country.
And he was never afraid to show it.
Thank you for posting this. I miss President Bush. I really hate it when people talk about him being an idiot. His knowledge of what was going on in the world was impressive. If you talk to those who were able to meet with him they will tell you was much more on top of things than the media would ever let you know.
Aug 2004 I was hired by the RNC to photograph Pres. Bush while he was visiting Las Vegas. I spent 4 hrs with hima nd his team and he was engaging, easy to talk too and friendly with everyone he came near. He made it a point to ask stage hands, workers and even me if he could get us water, if we were enjoying ourselves and was generally the perfect host.
I was my best day ever as a photographer. I was before and will always be a huge fan of Pres. Bush.
You know, as a former liberal who became a Republican because of President Bush and eventually a conservative despite him, I have to tell you that I got caught up in his cult of personality because he has so despised before he ever even did anything. People attacked him before 9.11. For what - because he wouldn’t sign the hate crimes legislation when he was Gov. Texas? Because his accent is ‘atrocious’? They obliged me to side with the underdog. I came to feel protective of him. And it helped that I had no problem with him setting up a big bug light in Iraq.
So, I won’t begrudge that photographer saying that a cult of personality sprang up around the President.
When will we have a real President again?
What would a lot of people give to have him back?
I sure miss him. I hope he’s enjoying life.
Wow. A real man. A leader who would do what is right regardless of the polls. What an empty suit we have squatting in our WH now. With and evil, America-hating wife. So sad for our wonderful country.
The MSM tried to tear this man’s heart out of his chest!
They may have in their own minds...but not in our hearts!
I hope they are truly proud of what they have done to our country!
They will reap what they have sown!
I thought that too at first. Then, when going on in his commentary he mentioned going to Bethesda with the President.
I think the little liberal grew a bit in being with the President.

I miss him also, and how the media treated him and the left and now look what we have got.
God Bless President Bush I miss him!
Amazing photos, thanks for posting.
