NEW YORK — Books of Obama photographs will be in the news this fall.

A collection of White House pictures of Michelle Obama is coming out Oct. 17, Ten Speed Press told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “Chasing Light” will feature 150 color shots and personal commentary by White House photographer Amanda Lucidon.

“Mrs. Obama is a source of light and inspiration in my life,” Lucidon said in a statement issued through Ten Speed, a Penguin Random House imprint.

“She was a mentor to me and so many people around the world. The work she has done with young people, especially girls and underserved youth, has helped me realize that I want to spend my life helping others reach their fullest potential,” she added.

“Chasing Light” arrives three weeks before “Obama: An Intimate Portrait,” a book of Barack Obama pictures by White House photographer Pete Souza.

Souza has built a wide following on social media by posting shots of Obama that contrast dramatically with images from Donald Trump’s administration. — (AP)

Yah, I know I am being rhetorical cuz she got the advice for her memoir, but they will pay her what to keep the wookie propped up in people's minds.

A book like that would inspire trannies everywhere. However, I can't UN-see.

How exciting, I hope the book covers her years as Han Solo’s co-pilot in the Star Wars movies... I’m a big fan!

A picture book?

That’s great! Now Barack will finally be able to finish reading an entire book.

contrast dramatically with images from Donald Trump’s administration.

They left it there without explanation. Did they mean one is a black family and one is a white family? That would be raciss.

One who spends time taking selfies, sitting with his feet on the furniture, and yukking it up with adoring flunkies, while the other surrounds himself with leaders, advisors, and spends his time getting things done. I can see how that would be a contrast.
