The first official White House videographer chronicles his time capturing behind-the-scenes moments of the president and his administration
From the early months of the 2008 campaign and through the first two and a half years of the Obama administration, Arun Chaudhary had a unique perspective on the president of the United States. "I'm sort of like President Obama's wedding videographer," he explains, "if every day was a wedding with the same groom but a constantly rotating set of hysterical guests."
Some of the moments Chaudhary captures are small, like the president throwing warm-up pitches deep inside Busch Stadium in St. Louis before the All-Star game. Some are intensely emotional, as when Obama comforts a grieving teenager whose father had died in a devastating tornado. And some are just plain bizarre—like getting thrown out of the Indian parliament by his belt, or being trapped in a White House bathroom while Obama conducts a YouTube town hall on the other side of the door.
Film and politics have been intertwined ever since the first Edison reels rattled in projection halls a century ago. But with the advent of new technologies and a new public that is hungry for images of their leaders, Chaudhary has been in the right place at the right time to participate in the interplay of film and politics at the very highest level. His entertaining and eye-opening book—which includes stories and images of key players such as Barack and Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton, among others—gives readers a unique view of their government and their president in these historic and challenging times.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 2nd Printing. CA3 - A 2nd printing hardcover book SIGNED by author on the half-title page in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. The first official White House videographer chronicles his time in the White House, capturing behind-the-scenes, human moments of President Obama and his administration, and changing the nature of how we document history. 9.5"x6.5", 306 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. From the early months of the 2008 campaign and through the first two and a half years of the Obama administration, Arun Chaudhary had a unique perspective on the president of the United States. "I'm sort of like President Obama's wedding videographer," he explains, "if every day was a wedding with the same groom but a constantly rotating set of hysterical guests." Some of the moments Chaudhary captures are small, like the president throwing warm-up pitches deep inside Busch Stadium in St. Louis before the All-Star game. Some are intensely emotional, as when Obama comforts a grieving teenager whose father had died in a devastating tornado. And some are just plain bizarre - like helping Senator Obama escape a bar full of drunken college students at eleven in the morning, or being trapped in the White House bathroom while the president conducted a YouTube town hall on the other side of the door. Chaudhary preserved all of these for history, like the half-eaten sausage stolen off the plate of then junior senator from Illinois that later reappeared on eBay. Film and politics have been intertwined ever since the first Edison reels rattled in projection halls a century ago. But with the advent of new technologies and a new public that is hungry for images of their leaders, Chaudhary has been in the right place at the right time to participate in the interplay of film and politics at the very highest level. From Zanesville, Ohio, to Zuccoti Park, his funny and eye-opening account - which includes stories and images of key players such as Barack and Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton, among others - gives readers an unprecedented backstage look at their government and their president in these historic and challenging times.
