Behind the scenes coverage of Obama on Inauguration Day
If you haven’t yet tired of inauguration coverage, check out photojournalist Callie Shell’s photos from behind the scenes on Time Magazine’s website.
Throughout the presidential campaign, and even before, Callie Shell has had excellent access to Barack Obama. She has achieved what photojournalists long to do on assignment: Blend perfectly into the background and have the photo subjects either forget you are there or simply don’t care any more that you are there. As a result, her behind-the-scenes photographs have an intimate quality different from the more expected photograph “opportunities”.
After you’ve visited that website, come back to ours to check out St. Louisans’ journey to the inauguration audio slideshow by staff photographer Robert Cohen and check out Elie Gardner’s video of Ritenour students in Washington D.C. below.
