Jimmy Carter and Anwar Sadat[edit]

Reason: One of the most significant accomplishments of Jimmy Carter's term as President of the United States was the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, which had several effects including Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula and the eventual assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Here Carter greets Sadat at the White House shortly after the Camp David Accords went into effect. Sadat was killed the following year. Restored version of File:Carter and Sadat White House.jpg.

Support Another great photo. Sasata (talk) 07:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Main weakness is that Anwar Sadat's face can't really be seen. It isn't a major issue since it isn't in an Anwar Sadat article however. Noodle snacks (talk) 07:47, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Found another shot of Sadat and Menachem Begin shoulder to shoulder smiling to a crowd when the accord was signed. Perhaps adding that to make the nomination a set? Durova^Charge! 08:00, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Is File:Camp David, Menachem Begin, Anwar Sadat, 1978.jpg it? I am leaning towards oppose as colour shots are available. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - File:Sadat and Begin1.jpg (cropped but not restored yet). Does the mere existence of low-res color change your review that much? Durova^Charge! 10:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Depends on if a high resolution colour image is likely to be available. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        What's surprising is that in the mid-eighties when I started doing serious photography, most of the serious amateurs and pros preferred black and white. They were doing their own black and white developing, and color photography was considered lightweight stuff unless you paid a very pretty penny for premium developing (and even then you gave up control over the outcome).

Support. Good quality, attractive, and decent EV for what it illustrates. Mostlyharmless (talk) 01:19, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
