Obama Photo Book


New site, Obama Photo Book, where you can share your inauguration photos. The best photos will be published. Here's more about the project by Epicenter Communications
The best photographs will be showcased in a beautiful commemorative Official Inaugural Book to be published by Five Ties Publishing, and a much larger collection of photographs, stories, and videos will be posted online. And for the first time, individual amateur photographers across the world will also be able to send in their photographs to the project's Official Inaugural Photo Gallery—hosted by Photobucket—and create their own customizable print-on-demand inaugural album through Kodak online imaging and printing.

In addition to user-submitted images, the commemorative works will include photos from an elite team of award-winning photojournalists led by David Hume Kennerly, a Pulitzer Prize winner who served as official photographer for the Ford White House, and Bob McNeely, who served as President Clinton's official photographer.

The book will be available on April 20, 2009, the 100-day anniversary of President Obama's Inaugural. Sign up for email alerts to stay informed about all the project news.

The NYT also is calling for photos to publish.
