Don’t turn around, Mr. President!

It’s me, Blog Guy, the aspiring photojournalist you’ve been mentoring. Congratulate me, I just shot my first presidential event, and here’s my shot! What do you think?
Um, it’s pretty much in focus, I’ll say that for it.
And?
Good use of depth-of-field. I like those lights in the background.
Thanks. What else? Don’t be afraid to be critical.
Well, I was just wondering, did you shoot from the same angle as the other photographers?
Funny you should ask. I barely saw them – they were standing across the room, in FRONT of the President, which seemed funny to me. I bet they got nothing but crap.
No doubt. You just keep doing what you’re doing. Someday this photo could be on the front of the Obama $1,000 bill. Or on the back of it, at least.

Typical story. Now that he’s been elected we really get to see him from all sides…
That is really a nice photo to put in the back of a dollar bill…
But it got the job done. Did you post any of the photos of the other photographers? This way he got is photos published…
Cheers,

Is that called flying in the face of photojournalistic tradition?
