CBS News has an in interesting piece about photographers at the White House.
From the piece...
What really goes on inside the world's most powerful office?
Tourists can only glimpse the outside. News crews mostly capture staged events.
But only one person sees and photographs everything.
Pete Souza is the Chief White House Photographer - a former newspaper photographer handpicked by President Barack Obama to snap shots both political and private.
"Who decides when you can get into a room?" Braver asked.
"I just walk in!" Souza replied.

He takes some 20,000 pictures every month.
Souza says he's "the luckiest S.O.B. photographer in the world."
"Right now I'm focused on documenting this presidency for history. I'm not worried about tomorrow's newspaper or next week's magazine," Souza said. "I'm worried about creating a body of work that will last, you know, hopefully maybe 500 years."
