I really love the White House Flickr photostream, and I hope that even if there’s a new President in a little over a year (which I don’t hope happens at all, but if it does) that the next administration keeps doing this. White House photography just fascinates me, no matter who the President is. Here’s a random selection of photos that I particularly like (this service only began with the Obama administration):

Seriously, I could post a hundred more of these. I love this stuff.
And man, does the President keep a clean desk or what? Ye Gods! He’s got so little stuff on his desk that if he wants to do some of his own computer work, he has to go to an adjoining office!
Oh, I love these. I just wish someone would explain the one with the balloon. Is the Ryan Stiles?
Click on the picture.
Each photo clicks through to the Flickr page, and there are explanations there!
Those are great. If more people looked at these pictures they might actually be inspired like I was.
I hope his successor also keeps the OLD pictures, rather than trashing history!
