New York Times Magazine Preview: 52 Photo Portraits of "Obama's People" (check it out!)

[ClarkUSA]

In December and January, the photographer Nadav Kander shot 52 portraits of Barack Obama’s top advisers, aides and members of his incoming administration. It's a must-see.

2. Ellen Moran...

...is staring right through the back of my skull. It's freaking me out.

Emmanuel and McDonough looks like they really needs to get some sleep.

Messina, for some reason, is reminding me of Conan O'Brien.

3. Thanks for this-that was fun. Some really good shots,

and some mug shots!
And Senator Reed's head looks big compared to his body. :shrug:

8. Axelrod

cracks me up..like I want him for a favorite uncle:D

[Uzybone]

4. This is awesome

Great photos. Thanks for posting this.

[Kaylee]

5. Why am I strangely comforted that the OMB guy is such

a geek (Peter Orszag)! :thumbsup:

[Politicub]

6. Fantastic set of photos!

And I have to admit, my eyes get kind of wet looking through the collection of folks who will surround Obama. The innaguration can not come fast enough. I am beyond eager to have Bush and his cronies shown the door. Though some of Obama's appointments I disagree with, on balance it's an outstanding group of individuals. There are some amazing people that he's chosen.

7. That was good fun! I see Jon

Favreau(naughty boy) is still with us. Biden's pic stood out:)

I wish them all the best!

23. Joe has that great smile. I loved Peter Orszag's too, so delightfully geeky

with the pocket protector and yet cute at the same time.

30. Was he posing with a Hillary cut out?

Boy should keep his hands to himself........

[BeyondGeography]

12. Cool...Desiree Rogers for President

Whoa...

And Jack Reed for Senator Most Likely to Remind You What Men Looked Like in the 19th Century.

[high density]

16. Reed

I was thinking the same thing about him...

[flpoljunkie]

13. Some intriguing shots there, particularly Axelrod.

[gmudem]

14. Some pretty goofy looking pictures in there I gotta say

Jack Reed looks really little. Steven Chu clearly was just not interested in posing for the camera haha.

[ecstatic]

24. Yeah.. I think he also portrayed the women in a certain light too

But the photos were interesting.

15. most de-versed cabinet I have ever seen

[PBS Poll-435]

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

19. I'll be honest, some of those looked scary. Others looked good though.

[firedupdem]

20. Thanks for that. I didn't have faces for all the names. n/t

[Cha]

21. I just looked at them again and

not sure why Arne Duncan isn't pictured?

[ClarkUSA]

33. I dunno.

Maybe he's super camera-shy? ;)

[polichick]

22. Fascinating - though the lighting was a bit harsh.

[camera obscura]

26. I like it - reminds me a bit of the snapshot aesthetic you see in pix by Terry Richardson & others

[Clio the Leo]

25. Thank you, now I FINALLY understand.....

... what Eugene Kang does. ;)

Pretty cool.

[FrenchieCat]

29. Biden and Hillary look like they are posing for a passport photo.

What's with the stark background and harsh lighting?

:-(

[FrenchieCat]

31. They talk about it over at the site.....what the photographer was thinking, etc....

[Beacool]

32. Oh, OK.

Thanks, it was late last night when I saw this and didn't have time to go through the gallery.

:hi:

[Jennicut]

34. It was a bit harsh but some of them came out better then others

At least Joe and Hillary don't look like aliens.

[Flirtus]

35. "expert on Depression era"

Didn't catch her name, glad she's qualified.
