Obama photo essay



















Check out this gorgeous photo essay by Callie Shell. From the accompanying piece Travels With Barak by Dirck Halstead:

Four years ago Time photographer Callie Shell met Barack Obama backstage when she was covering presidential candidate John Kerry. She sent her editor more photographs of Obama than Kerry. When asked why, she said, "I do not know. I just have a feeling about him. I think he will be important down the road." Her first photo essay on Obama was two and half years ago. She has stuck with him ever since.

Make sure to keep clicking on "Show More Images" at the bottom of each photo set to see all of them.

I love the picture a few before this one - with his shoes up on the desk while on the phone - the soles are worn through on both shoes .. he had already had them resoled once since entering the primary races.
