You'd think I would know to preview or write my own html. Now I need to learn to delete a post. But for now, here's what I intended to add. Taken from the official Whitehouse photo stream.

Some really inspirational shots there.


@ JohnU, I don't think we can delete. In the past I've just deleted the text except for a period mark, or just written something like "Edit: Double Post - sorry".


Here are some other recent pictures that have spun me out and inspired me:

The first image is nothing new, dramatic sky, boat on a beach; but it is just so well executed. The image of the bike was taken by someone from my city, and as far as I can tell it was not a studio shot or the result of photoshop. It reminds me of FreelanceShots recent bike shot. The last one strikes me because it accesses a dimension of portrait photography that IMO is not often seen. The photo goes beyond the technical aspects of a portrait and captures a brief glimpse of who the person is, not just what they look like. Diane Arbus and Henri Cartier Bresson are two photographers that come to mind who were able to capture this quality in their subjects. <span class="tl"]
