For Patrick and Sophia. Thank you for choosing me to be your father. I dont deserve either of you, but I try to live up to the challenge every day. You are kind and good people, which is the most important thing your mother and I could wish upon you.

And to my lovely wife, Alicia. I was right when I gave you the nickname Trouble on our first date. But I was also right in calling you for a second date. And a third. And.... Thank you for all youve done and continue to do for us and our family.

The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.

Youre about to sift through some of my favorite memories.

Thats one of the odd things about being president: Much of what you do is documented by a swarm of professional photographers and a sea of smartphones. There arent many private moments. And even most of those have to be recorded for posterity.

Thats why we were so grateful to have someone like Lawrence Jackson recording them.

As youre about to see, Lawrence has a talent for capturing the big scene, the iconic images that will help explain our times for future generations. But he also has a unique gift for capturing those quieter momentsthe margins of a big event, the pauses in a busy day, some stolen time with Michelle and our girls.

They, in particular, came to adore Lawrence. Michelle and I trusted him to travel the world with her and spend time with our girls as they grew up too fast. And well always be grateful to him for preserving some of their youthful joy.

Lawrence brought something else to his work, too. He and I had similar upbringings as black men in America, each of us raised by an extraordinary single mom, both of us knowing what its like, at times, to feel as if we might not belong. Many of his photos are informed by that sensibility, an added awareness of the meaning that certain moments may hold for those who were so long dispossessed.

I suspect Lawrence pinched himself frequently, feeling fortunate to serve in a time of incredible challenge and change. Some of my favorite photos of his are of other White House staff who surely felt the samewho rarely received credit or fanfare, who never got over the feeling that maybe they werent supposed to be there eitherbut all of whom did their jobs with pride and skill and made up a vital part of the White House experience.

I miss them all. Eight years in the White House went by so fast. Thats why Im so grateful that Lawrence was there to capture them. I hope you enjoy his work as much as I do.
