    The White House

    The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States. Located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, DC, the house was designed by Irish-born James Hoban,[1] and built between 1792 and 1800 of white-painted Aquia sandstone in the Neoclassical style. It has been the residence of every US President since John Adams. When Thomas Jefferson moved into the house in 1801, he (with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe) expanded the building outward, creating two colonnades that were meant to conceal stables and storage.[2] In 1814, during the War of 1812, the mansion was set ablaze by the British Army in the Burning of Washington, destroying the interior and charring much of the exterior. Reconstruction began almost immediately, and President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed house in October 1817. Construction continued with the addition of the South Portico in 1824 and the North in 1829. Because of crowding within the executive mansion itself, President Theodore Roosevelt had all work offices relocated to the newly constructed West Wing in 1901. Eight years later, President William Howard Taft expanded the West Wing and created the first Oval Office which was eventually moved as the section was expanded. The third-floor attic was converted to living quarters in 1927 by augmenting the existing hip roof with long shed dormers. A newly constructed East Wing was used as a reception area for social events ...

Notables such as Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Karl Rove, have donated ornaments, and many of the ornaments are quite valuable as individual items. Assembled into this collection, they are priceless. Many of the ornaments reflect something of the donor; Karl Rove, known in political circles as 'The Architect,' donated a White House Ornament that commemorates White House architect James Hoban. Conservative champion Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota donated a glass elephant wearing a winter hat and scarf, and Sarah Palin donated an Alaska-themed ornament along with several unique pins from her state.

    This is a demo reel from a few years back. Most of the work here I was the director, DP, camera op and editor. The first part is a montage of just a few things I've made, the second half is a couple scenes from my 30min 16mm film "All the Answers". I shot it silent, and then recorded and mixed all the sounds and music in post.

    President's Inauguration The Boss , Bono welcome Obama Era

    TENS of thousands of supporters of Barack Obama began streaming into a snow-bound Washington over the weekend in advance of tomorrow's presidential inauguration. Up to two million people are predicted to attend the ceremony, the largest gathering ever seen in Washington, and by far the most people to attend a presidential swearing-in. Mammoth security precautions are in place amid fears of terrorist attacks with 58 different agencies, including the army, air force and Marine Corps, deploying thousands of armed officers in the city. Security fences, metal detectors and giant TV screens are being erected along the 1.9 mile long Mall that stretches from the Capitol Building, where the ceremony will take place, to the Lincoln Memorial. Americans are forgetting the recession and the Iraq war to indulge in a surge of optimism: a New York Times poll found 79 per cent think Barack Obama will improve the nation a level of support that is higher than for any incoming president in three decades. The official celebrations last ten days five before the ceremony, and five after. Already, Washington has a carnival atmosphere, with stars including Beyonce, Bono, Sheryl Crow, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder in town for a concert. Thousands braved freezing temperatures and heavy snow to cheer Obama along the 137-mile train route he and his entourage took at the weekend from Philadelphia to Washington, recreating part of the 12-day journey to the city taken by Abraham Lincoln to the ...

A visiting head of state enters the house for a state dinner through the North Portico. Tourists finish their tour by exiting through the North Portico. The house was originally built without porticos. Before construction of the north portico in 1824, the north façade looked much more similar to Leinster House shown in the picture immediately below. Both James Hobanoriginal architect of the White House, and Benjamin Henry Latrobe who developed plans for its rebuilding after the 1814 fire, proposed north and south porticos. Both porticos, as built, are the work of Hoban. 'Leinster House in Dublin' The eighteenth century ducal palace in Dublin served as a model for the White House. 'The White House' from the South Lawn showing the columned South Portico. The South Portico was constructed in 1829 based on earlier drawings by James Hoban. The second floor balcony, known as the Truman Balcony, was added in 1947. Welcome ceremonies for visiting heads of state take place on the South Lawn. Marine One, the president's helicopter service, lands and departs from the South Lawn. 'Jefferson's West Colonnade' is seen on the left of the residence in this nineteenth century engraved view.
