President Obama's Photographer Captured His White House Farewell

WASHINGTON (CBS4) - Former White House Chief Photographer Pete Souza may no longer hold the position, but that's not stopping him from snapping former President Barack Obama as he steps away from the spotlight.

As President Obama left Washington Friday after the inauguration of Donald Trump, Obama flew on Executive One (the code name for any aircraft when the president is not on board) over the National Mall and the White House.

Souza captured the moment and posted it to his new personal Instagram account.
