One of the best and most challenging aspects of my job is whittling down a year’s worth of photographs to the final selections for my annual Year in Photographs. Every year, I attempt to keep it less than 100 photos — and every year I fail in that goal. But I am excited once again to present this gallery for the seventh consecutive year.
Read more and see the rest of Pete Souza’s choice for the top photographs from the White House of 2015 here.
I post a monthly diary highlighting the pictures taken for the previous month by the White House Photography staff lead by Pete Souza (an archive of those past diaries can me found here).
I went through Pete’s choices and narrowed them down to a few that I really like. There are over a 100 so after you check these out here go look at the rest of them. I also noticed that he included quite a few that were not posted to the Flickr account or posted at the White House website so I did not include them in my monthly diaries.
This shot is really worth looking at in higher resolution, the detail in the carving is amazing.
White House Photography Disclaimer:
This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.
I know a lot of people don't have the time to check out the White House's photostream at Flickr so I put together this diary at the end of each month for everyone.
If you see an image you really like I encourage you to click through using the links I've provided under each image and view that photo in a larger format (in cases where there are no links that is because the White House has not yet uploaded that image to Flickr). Also, you can order prints through Flickr or download full sized files to print at home if you'd like. I've printed quite a few over the years to hang in my office at school.
Please feel free to add your favorite White House Photo Staff pictures in the comments that I missed and you'd like to share with everyone.
