Entrance Hall, Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, Simi Valley, California, 2012

The Reagan Library and Museum is designed not only to tell the story of the 40th President of the United States, but also to express his stature and his impact on history. He and his wife are cast as life-sized bronze statues, enshrined under a Reagan quote at the end of an impressive marble-floored entrance gallery. My choice of wideangle lens and distant vantage point emphasizes grandeur through scale contrast. Presidential politics aside, the room demands our attention, and so does this image.
