Pete Souza, who was the Washington-based national photographer for The Chicago-Tribune, gives us a photo-journalistic view of Barack Obama from the time he was sworn in as Illinois Senator in 2005 through his campaign for the presidency in 2008. Souza was so impressed with Obama's natural and inspiring leadership, that he felt he was photographing a future president of the United States, thus documenting history. It's very moving to look at the photos, especially when you see senior members of Congress attentively taking in each word Obama utters, or when you see the hope and sometimes tears on the faces of Americans as they watch and listen to Obama during his campaign.
