i would really like to know how he got the job in the first place.
Paul "pabloconrad" Conrad says
He was voted in by the White House Press Photographers Association.
Pete Marovich says
Summarized from the NPPA website when he took the job:
Souza received the offer for the position from Robert Gibbs, the president's longtime spokesman who is also Obama's incoming White House press secretary.
It is not Souza's first time in the Oval Office. He was also a White House photographer during President Ronald Reagan's second term.
Obama and Souza met for the first time in January 2005, on Obama's first day in the U.S. Senate when he was sworn in as a Democrat from Illinois. Souza worked for the Chicago Tribune at the time, and documented Obama's first year in the Senate, and his trips to seven countries including Kenya, South Africa, and Russia, in photographs that were later compiled into the July 2008 book "The Rise of Barack Obama," which made it onto The New York Times bestseller list.
