NEW YORK – The White House said it is ending its long-running practice of having presidents re-enact televised speeches for news photographers following major addresses to the country, a little-known arrangement that fed suggestions of fakery when Barack Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden.
There are conflicting accounts on whether technology exists to take photographs without distracting the president. One idea could be using mirrors so photographers could do their jobs out of the president’s sight line, the White House’s Earnest said.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

mirrors?……………… (AAiM scratches head…..)
Slightly off-topic, but can anyone explain why press photographers still use single-lens reflex cameras with mechanical shutters? That’s what creates all the clatter and racket.
I like your thinking about the TPOTUS
The news media was the first to transition from film to digital because it shortened lead time and allowed the news to be released faster. No waiting on film development. The reason single lens reflex digital cameras are used is the same reason single lens reflex film cameras were used. By viewing through the lens you can frame your shot accurately and lenses can be changed to suit the situation. Plus the larger lenses of a DSLR are faster (shorter shutter times) and result in better quality pictures (especially if enlargements are made).
It is more an effect of the sensitive microphones being used as to why the cameras sound so noisy. DSLR’s are a lot quieter than film SLR’s. But put a bunch of them in a small room and they still seem loud.
Autofocus has added another source of noise but that noise would exist whether the camera was a high quality point and shoot or a DSLR. Fixed focus point and shoot cameras don’t cut it for this kind of work.
