(The Last) "White House Picture of the Day," for January 20th 2025

This will be the last “White House Picture of the Day” diary for at least the next four years.

Going forward, this daily community diary will feature pictures that I have taken over the past 48 years of photography, Bob’s Picture of the Day. I took a photography class in high school my junior year, in '77/'78, and have been taking pictures ever since. I didn't pursue photography as a profession, except for the few years I taught photography to junior high and high school students. I wanted to keep it a hobby.

Over the decades, I've won many awards for my pictures and have been published in a few magazines. While I do own professional equipment, I rarely use it anymore. Most of what I take these days is on my iPhone.

My hope is to bring you a different picture every day, but I have to admit that I don't have 1,460 high-quality images to post over the next four years. I'll be taking new stuff regularly, but I almost guarantee that I'll need to repost images I've posted here in the past as well.

Tomorrow's first image will be a photograph I've posted quite a few times here over the years. It's my all-time favorite picture, so I figure I should start with that one.

Throwback Thursday will continue, so make sure you check in on Thursdays to see a few pictures from former Democratic Presidents. They will continue to be under the fold where they've been for the past four years.

Buckle up everyone, here we go.

Bob
