Virtually unknown to the public or historians, White House
photographers have developed amazing access to the presidents of
the United States over the past half-century. In this book,
long-time White House correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh tells their
stories, emphasizing observations about the presidents the
photographers got to know so well along with other key figures
close to those presidents-including the first ladies, members of
Congress, and important world leaders. This book shows how official
White House photographers have morphed into ultimate insiders
within the American presidency, allowed to observe and take
pictures of nearly everything Chief Executives do related to their
job. The "photogs" have often become close friends with the
presidents they have served. Using these bonds of trust and their
own powers of observation, they created fundamental impressions and
public images of the presidents through the art of photography.
Acting not only as image makers but as visual historians, they have
built pictorial chronicles of the presidency-intimate narratives of
America's leaders in public and private, showing how they dealt
with everyday life as well as moments of great crisis and
opportunity. From children playing in the Oval Office to decisions
to send troops into harm's way, images created by White House
photographers can make or break a presidential administration as
well as define an era.
