7 months of daily photos: Barack Obama
7 months - Daily Barack Obama Photos - Presidial.org from Jeremy Tubbs on Vimeo.
Public figures are always being photographed. Here is a clever compilation of photos taken of Barack Obama so far during his campaign for president. Similar treatments of Bush and McCain are here, too, for comparison. The consistency of how each of these guys looks day after day for months (or in the case of Bush, for years) is somehow ... disquieting, no?

not disquieting really. the pics are, after all the same person, taken from the front. it looks like some of the bush pics are faked, where his torso is at an angle and the face is still facing the camera.
Not disquieted, either, and not seeing the cleverness.
How are these consistent? Did you have a method for picking photos other than just grabbing full fronts from a variety of sources? How many of how many photos are represented?
And even if you had, photo editors want photos of BO, GB, and JM that look like other photos of BO, GB, and JM. Photos where the lighting is off, or people are at odd angles, tend not to sell. Facebook and your files may be full of them, but newspapers aren't.
Nice working fixing the eyes in the same spot, though.
