joe_buechler Posted October 22, 2000 Share Posted October 22, 2000 I heard a CSPAN radio interview this morning with Leica M photographer<A HREF="http://www.photo2000.org/director.html">Robert McNeely</A>. Mr.McNeely is currently photographing the Gore and Bush campaigns, and coveredthe McCain primary campaign aboard the "Straight Talk Express" bus. Priorto that he was White House photographer 1992-1998, and was also a staffphotographer in the Carter White House. <P>Some of his notable photographs included a series including Mr. andMrs Reagan, Mr. and Mrs. Bush, and Mr. and Mrs. Clinton at Richard Nixon'sfuneral (the last time Reagan appeared in public), the 50 year anniversaryof D-Day on Omaha Beach, and President Clinton playing a saxophone whichwas presented to him as a gift by the Russian president. <P>He mentioned that he always keeps a Leica hanging around his neck. Heshoots mostly on TMAX. He frequently shoots at 1/30 sec. or slower to obtaina sense of motion, and said that it was very easy to do with a Leica rangefinder.He also shoots portraits in 6x6 with a white background and a single light.
