Top Military Official Apologizes for Role in Trump Photo Op

The photo op started a reckoning in the military. “I should not have been there,” said Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Formerly known as the Yale Swimming Association, the varsity men’s swim team was established in 1898. Under the direction of legendary swim coach Robert J.H. Kiphuth (back right), the team won four NCAA championships in ’42, ’44, ’51, and ‘53. ‪#‎TBT‬


Kiphuth also served as Yale's athletic director and head coach for the USA Olympic team. In 1960, the United States Swimming National Championships named the high point scorer award (male and female) the Robert J.H. Kiphuth Award.

The FT’s Middle East correspondent Borzou Daragahi commented: “Seems world leaders didn’t “lead” Charlie Hebdo marchers in Paris but conducted photo op on empty, guarded street.”

「川金會」，一場搏版面的大秀？

AMY CHANG CHIEN, BEN HUBLEY 17:26

「川金會」召開前，川普說這「不會只是一次給媒體拍照的活動」。他在原話中使用的photo-op一詞除了留影外，還有何含意？時報專欄作者又是如何分析兩人的會晤？

Photo-op |總統“作秀”時間到

時報攝影師道格·米爾斯報導白宮新聞超過30年 。 “特金會”、總統的各式行程、第一夫人出訪......他的鏡頭記錄了美國政壇的大小時刻。在他來看，特朗普是他拍攝過最有代表性的總統。

和過去任何一任總統比起來，攝影師們擁有比以往更多的機會接近特朗普。米爾斯說，媒體拍照的時間要多得多(We're in photo ops much longer)——因為特朗普知道推動新聞傳播的力量，而要做到這一點，他必須將自己曝光在閃光燈面前。

Photo op是photo opportunity的簡稱，一般被譯為“給媒體拍照的機會”。但它所蘊含的不只是中性的拍照、合影等意思，一些情況下，還帶有一種作秀與炫耀意味。時報專欄作家在質疑新加坡峰會成果時就曾問道：這只是“一名陰險的暴食者和他的朝鮮對手被媒體拍照的機會而已”？

A photo op (sometimes written as photo opp), short for photograph opportunity (photo opportunity), is an arranged opportunity to take a photograph of a politician, a celebrity, or a notable event. The term was coined by the administration of US President Richard Nixon.
