W's Presidency in Pictures


Errol Morris has a great new photo article at the New York Times. He asked photo editors from the AP, AFP, and Reuters news agencies to choose ten or so photos that in their view best characterize Bush's presidency. Some of them you will have seen, some probably not.

The photos are worth looking at, especially the last three photos of Bush. And the text is no less interesting, giving the backstory from photographers, and comparing and contrasting the way different news agencies handle photos.

As an amateur photographer I've read Morris's previous essays and found them to be quite interesting. He often analyzes the relationship between photographs and reality; they say that photos don't lie, but what do they know!
