Under the title of “Working With Canada”, some of the pics taken by the official White House photographer of President Barack Obama's visit to Canada are online. Just like Prime Minister Harper's official photographers, Jason and Deb Ransom, White House photog Pete Souza will get the best angles and the best access. But there's more to getting a great shot than being in the right place at the right time. You have to have an eye for framing; for the energy of the moment; and for drama. Pete (like Jason and Deb) has that. Of course, as these are pics snapped by a guy on Obama's team, they also tend to make Obama look pretty good. That's the prez on the left just after buying a Beavertail in Ottawa's Byward Market.
Love the photos. Thanks for posting the links.

You mean like #13 where Bob Rae gets cropped so that Obama is the focal point ???
One of the things I really like about this blog is that you do different stuff like this. Nice work, David.
