As Chief Official White House Photographer, Pete Souza spent more time alongside President Barack Obama than almost anyone else. His years photographing the President gave him an intimate behind-the-scenes view of the unique gravity of the Office of the Presidency -- and the tremendous responsibility that comes with it. His latest collection is a portrait in Presidential contrasts, telling the tale of the Obama and Trump administrations through a series of visual juxtapositions. Here, more than one hundred of Souza's images of President Obama are framed by the tweets, news headlines, and quotes that defined the first five hundred days of the Trump White House. What began with Souza's Instagram posts soon after President Trump's inauguration in January 2017 has become a commentary on the state of the Presidency, and our country. Some call this "throwing shade." Souza calls it telling the truth. Souza's photographs are more than a rejoinder to the chaos, abuses of power, and destructive policies that now define our nation's highest office. They are a reminder of a President we could believe in, and a courageous defense of American values.… (altro)

I was given this book as a gift and I have read it just a month or two after it would have been most resonant for me, but it has dated in a hurry. Now that I can't remember the 45th president, attacks against him using pictures of the 44th president seem like they are taking advantage of an elderly unstable person - perhaps even piling on. Don't you feel sorry for the Master Cylinder after Felix has ruined all his plans? Also, Mr. Souza's little book may, in time, seem like someone criticizing a name-calling ignoramus by calling him names. Lastly, the pictures in my copy of this book are small, and I recommend that you skip this one and get instead, Obama. An Intimate Portrait with much bigger and better photos and almost no mention of 45. (

A most amazing book that brought me to tears. I probably could not have read it when it was first published—in 2018. This book features tweets by former US president Trump on the left hand pages, followed on the right hand pages with striking photos of former president Obama by the author, White House photographer Pete Souza. It provides a stark contrast between the two men, not without snark (or call it shade) from Souza. Just beautiful in so many ways. (

I really like this book - that's probably because I lean left politically. (

Oh my, was this entertaining and illuminating. President Obama's staff photographer during his terms in the White House, juxtaposes newspaper headlines, excerpts and numerous brag/rage Tweets from our current White House resident with photos of Obama that present how differently the two men approach their role as Leader of the Free World.

Suffice to say, one comes out looking like a lost and petulant child, the other like a mature, measured leader.

It's a quick read, as it's mostly photographs with captions and the blurbs from 45's Tweets and related quotes/articles are (mercifully) brief. But the point is made.

I'm sure those I know who are all-in for MAGA won't care for this book, but then most of those folks who I know that are all-in for MAGA aren't trolling my Goodreads page. I'll leave it at that.

It's pretty clear who the demographic is for this book. If you fall into that category, you'll love this. If you don't, move on. Or maybe...just maybe...dive in. Having all of these incidents and moments compiled in sequential order really make a case. (

I found this book immensely enjoyable, frustrating, upsetting, etc. Not because of anything Souza wrote or photographed but simply some of the subject matter. That is alright. A person should experience the full range of emotions when reading this content. My only regret is that I haven't been following Souza's twitter posts for the past four years. (

Throw Shade Then Vote

Throwing shade is one thing, but it's time

for us to take the next step.

It's not enough to voice disbelief at what's taking place.

Let's use our energy to do something about it.

Vote, for one.

Help others get to the polls.

March in the streets for issues that are important to you.

Write or call your Congressperson about how you feel.

It all matters.

It may take a while.

But let's bring respect back to our country.

As Abraham Lincoln said at Gettysburg, our task is that

"government of the people,

by the people,

for the people,

shall not perish from the earth."
