->> It seems that you're implying Eric Draper's work over the last 8 years has been devoid of artistic quality. Are you not? There has to be a better way to compliment the current White House Photographer than to put down the previous one.

->> Luke, I can not speak for Mr Colburn's intent but praising the current photographer's work without even mentioning the previous photographer(s) should not be presumed to be an attack on Eric Draper.

One would have to make some rather wild assumptions to leap to that conclusion unless, of course, Mr Colburn has a well known history of being disdainful of Mr Draper's work.

I recently told a friend that I enjoyed the movie Star Wars, yet this was not an attack against Steven Speilberg, Frank Capra, James Cameron, or any of the other countless film makers who did NOT direct Star Wars.

->> I am really glad the administration is having you put these galleries up. They are great work and it is interesting to get the insiders perspective.

Eric Draper also did fantastic work, which we got to see at the Illinois and Wisconsin photo convention last month. I don't know if much of that work was shown to the public before the last administration left office. If you have the chance to see Draper speak, don't miss it.

->> Is the Iraq gallery down? Every page I check just shows the European gallery. Don't get me wrong, Pete has some terrific images in that slideshow - I'd just like to see the others if they're still up as well.

I wish I was there.

I wish I was that good.

I hope I've got half the commitment Souza has. I could do a lot with half.
