Photo by Mark Peterson, who says: "these pix (including the one yesterday of George Bush) were taken in the summer of 2000 when bush named cheney his
running mate…they are not photoshop …the color comes from the room
lite and flash combined ….and bush was really proud of himself that day
thinking he had made the right choice for vp and that's why he looks so
happy and pleased….he asked me and two other photographers what we
thought of the announcement (introduction press conference
of cheney as vp) and when one of the other photographers suggested that
it was a dull event (it was just cheney and him on a blank stage with a
podium) he went off on the photographer charles ommanney (who was the
campaign photographer and also supplying newsweek) and said what did you
want– balloons, a band etc, like he didn't even want to hear the
truth….kind of a preview of what was to come…"
