Chief Photographer

Bob McNeely harbors no pretensions about his role in photojournalism- even though his book, The Clinton Years, reflects six years' work as White House chief photographer.

"I'm a snapshooter," said McNeely. "I'm a great believer in snapshots. I work hard at making my snapshots, but they're still snapshots."

Oh, but they are extraordinary pictures of an unforgettable time: U.S. politics at the close of the 20th century. After chronicling Bill Clinton's presidential campaign in 1991, McNeely spent the next six years photographing Clinton's presidency.
