College Years

I found these on The Online Photographer. Yet another glimpse into the past of our President and how he walked in similar steps to a majority of us.

“In 1980, fellow Occidental College student Lisa Jack asked her classmate Barry Obama to pose for a roll of pictures for her portfolio. She went searching for the old negatives when he became a candidate for president, but she put them in a safety deposit box until after the election so they couldn’t be used for political purposes.”

This photo series amazes me, truly. Perfect example of why we capture / archive our moments.

TIME magazine has a slideshow
