A bunch of OU photojournalists are heading down this weekend to capture the action, but it's pretty safe to say that out of all of them, VisCom professor Pete Souza will have the best chance at making the best shot of the new president. That's because he's the new First Photographer. He's traded Appalachian hills with Capitol Hill, and now has the best access to all of the important stuff going on in the White House - because, well, he lives there.This clip of Souza talking to OU's favorite alum Matt Lauer on The Today Show accomplishes two important things. First of all, it offers the first glimpse at the new presidential portrait. Second, it proves to the world that OU is awesome.
Athens NEWS reporter Mike Barajas just wrote an article on the news about Souza, which you can read
here. And
here are some of the photos that Souza took of Obama way before the presidential race, back when he was just an Illinois governor trying to make his first foray into national politics.
