I don’t know who took these photos of the President’s visit to the Waldo Canyon fire on June 29, but they are on the same flickr site where Kari Greer posts her fire photos. The photographer was not identified at the site.

It never occurred to me that after being briefed about the fire and then inspecting some of the destroyed houses, that he would have to stand there and sign autographs for firefighters. I supposed it’s a friendly gesture on his part.
