Reunited at Camp David for very serious discussions about the world economic crisis, the leaders of the world’s most industrialized countries agreed to a break on Saturday to follow the live Champions League final between Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Arms in the air, British Prime Minister David Cameron jumped for joy on the announcement of the Blues’ victory. The German chancellor, herself, acknowledges defeat. Impartial, François Hollande remains neutral.
Signed Pete Souza, the striking image resembling the formalism of “family photos,” shows the great leaders of the world. Its author, a former photojournalist who became the official photographer of the White House, has joined with the American president in creating a close relationship that allows him to sneak around everywhere. Each day, he takes between 500 and 1,100 shots of all the doings and gestures of the head of state, of which only a small quantity is released for publication, after having passed through the White House press service filter.
It was Pete Souza who immortalized the “situation room,” where the American president was reunited with his closest collaborators to follow the assault against Osama bin Laden’s complex in Pakistan — a reverse angle which has entered into history.
