The men in gray ...

... are all gone. Well nearly.

There is a photo essay of Obama's cabinet and aides here: http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/magazine/2009-inauguration-gallery/index.html?WT.mc_id=PO-D-I-NYT-MOD-MOD-MII-ROS-0109-NA&WT.mc_ev=click

On a visual level - and its as much about how they chose to be photgraphed as their actual appearance - they are very different to what one would expect.

I agree. I think that's why I enjoyed these photos so much; they are honest and real.

Thanks for the thread Victor.

Yes, they are indeed very interesting from a realist point of view. The quality of the photography is also good. I don't think they would do much for their PR, though they do actually come across as human, for a change !! They must have been taken shortly after the campaign. Most of them look wrecked and unkempt. Rahm looks as if he hasn't slept for a year and Hillary could do with a trip to a hair salon, and as for the legal fellow with the scarf...well, enough said :eek:!!

I must have another look when I'm less tired. Thanks, Victor. It's a treasure.

Thanks for the link and clearing up some confusion on my part. Unfortunately somebody sent me this link as representative of Obama’s administration picks, but I had my doubts when there was a mention of something McCain in there.
