Whoa! More frequently than not, your MesaZona blogger gets lucky when a story finds him. This sunny balmy Saturday afternoon was just like that walking into a crowd of people standing in-line wrapped up-and-around the entire North Campus of the Mesa Arts Center - 1600 had showed up here in the most conservative city in America for a Sell-Out Book Signing
Talk and Slideshow Presentation
with former Chief Official White House
Photographer Pete Souza.
Changing Hands is proud to present Pete Souza with Obama: An Intimate Portrait, his visual biography of Barack Obama's historic presidency, presented in an oversize, 12"x10" exquisitely produced format, and featuring a foreword from the President himself
________________________________________________________________________
ABOUT THE BOOK Pete Souza served as Chief Official White House Photographer for President Obama's full two terms. He was with the President during more crucial moments than anyone else--and he photographed them all.
Souza took nearly two million photographs of President Obama, capturing moments both highly classified and disarmingly candid.
Obama: An Intimate Portrait reproduces Souza's most iconic photographs in exquisite detail, more than three hundred in all.
Some have never been published.
These photographs document the most consequential hours of the Presidency--including the historic image of President Obama and his advisors in the Situation Room during the bin Laden mission--alongside unguarded moments with the President's family, his encounters with children, interactions with world leaders and cultural figures, and more.
Souza's photographs, with the behind-the-scenes captions and stories that accompany them, communicate the pace and power of our nation's highest office. They also reveal the spirit of the extraordinary man who became our President. We see President Obama lead our nation through monumental challenges, comfort us in calamity and loss, share in hard-won victories, and set a singular example to "be kind and be useful," as he would instruct his daughters.
The result is a portrait of exceptional intimacy and a stunning record of a landmark era in American history.
