Donald Trump’s inauguration was the fourth I have covered. I’ve also photographed George W. Bush’s second inauguration and both of Barack Obama’s. The furor at Trump’s Sean Spicer first press statement over alleged media misrepresentation of inauguration numbers brought to mind ongoing questions of subjectivity in photography. Images taken by Reuters photographer Lucas Jackson from the top of the Washington Monument showed relatively sparse crowds in attendance at the moment Trump was sworn in, the perceived time for peak attendance.
