Hi-res Bush Photos

August 8, 2007 8:28 AM

Where can I find hi-res images of George W Bush--especially candid pics? I've checked all the usual places (google images, whitehouse.gov, etc). I'd even pay a few bucks if necessary.

Corbis or Getty Images are good bets. Both have large databases of news photos. Searching both it looks like Getty has more dubya photos.

Response by poster: Corbis and Getty have a bunch, but their prices are a bit out of my league.

Didn't try photobucket. I'll do that now.

Thanks, all.

There are some on the George W Bush page of the Wikimedia Commons site. You'll need to click on each image to get the maximum resolution. The official portraits at least are in high resolution.

call a rep. they're flexible. you should be able to get a decent res for $100-$150 if it's for something small. if you however want to run it on a cover and all that ... well.
