McNeely left the White House because "I'd taken nearly every conceivable photograph of the president and his aides." In 1998, he formed Photo2000: Democracy at the Millennium, to document the U.S. political process. The Kodak Professional division helped sponsor The Clinton Years and Photo2000.

"The ability to get great candid photographs goes beyond having a quiet camera," McNeely said in The Clinton Years.
