Time: Photographer Callie Shell had extraordinary access to the Obama White House. In this video documentary, she describes how she captured her behind-the-scenes images of the first 100 days (May 2009)
Callie Shell’s book: President Obama – The Path to the White House
Wonderful. Just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Chipsticks. Can I just say again how much I appreciate you for this site? I do. It’s like a sanctuary. A place to come and drink a glass of cool refreshing water.
I am moved to tears. My prayer today is that as each day passes, for those Americans amongst us, whose hearts and minds are clouded by hate and fear, they will one by one wake up to the the reality that America has the good fortune and God’s grace to be lead by this remarkable human being. And that they will join those of US who believe in this man, and in ourselves, that together we can move this nation forward.
Great work Callie Shell! How refreshing to see photographs of our fantastic President as captured by a very talented and conscious artist with genuinely positive intentions, a warm heart and a great mind.
I’m going to order the Callie Shell book immediately – what a wonderful perspective!
Great video. Callie is great & so is her work. She was on CNN a few times. I read she turned down Pete Souza’s job because she didn’t want to be away from her family in another state.

Hi Chipsticks,

That is like my dream job right there… Photographing the President up close and personal.
What a privilege.
This is a great video, Donna!! I was waiting for Harrison Ford to come out and say “Get off my plane.” LOL. ThanX for sharing this with me.
