You have to be there because routine comings and goings have the potential to become news when the subject is President of the United States. Even so, ”President George W. Bush carrying dog Barney descends the steps of Air Force One on his arrival in Waco, Texas, May 18, 2007″ is a photo caption to pique the interest of only the most passionate pro-Bush, plane-spotting, Barney fan.
But just look at Kevin Lamarque’s stunning picture of the event.
Nothing happened. Shot against a bright blue background the President looks down as he watches his footing and the viewer’s attention passes to Barney and is held by the tiny pin point of light reflected from the dog’s eye as it stares intently into the distance.
Nobody slipped, nobody got bitten, but you don’t need a news hook when the pictures are this good.
