When I think back on the eight years of covering the Reagan presidency as Time magazine's Chief White House Photographer, the first thing that comes to my mind is china.

When over the years I have been asked to describe what it was like to photograph various presidents, I have explained that I see them as simply human beings - albeit exceptional ones - but not as either Republicans or Democrats.

Ronald Reagan first caught my attention in 1964 when I was at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario (Canada).

For five years and seven months, I was one of President Ronald Reagan's shadows.

The tributes to President Ronald Reagan in recent weeks flowed throughout the media as if a sentimental flood of emotions swept over their holding banks and inundated the nation.
