Today we are talking with one of the finest photographers working in journalism today.
Her name is Diana Walker and she is a contract photographer for Time Magazine. She’s spent over two decades covering the White House, and has photographed Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton. Today she is joining us because of her new book The Bigger Picture: 30 years of Portraits. It’s an amazing book, and she is full of amazing stories of behind the scenes on the campaign trail and behind the public face of public officials.

National Geographic, which published the book, was kind enough to share with us some of the photographs in the book.

Diana Walker is our guest at 1 pm on Tuesday. Here is some of the great pictures from her amazing book The Bigger Picture: 30 Years of Portraits.
