Time has a won­der­ful lit­tle photo essay fea­tur­ing pic­tures of Barack Obama as a fresh­man at Occi­den­tal Col­lege.

In 1980, when Obama was a fresh­man at Occi­den­tal Col­lege in Los Ange­les, he was approached by an aspir­ing pho­tog­ra­pher named Lisa Jack, who asked him if he would be will­ing to pose for some black and white pho­tographs that she could use in her port­fo­lio. […] Ini­tially, before she dug the film out from her base­ment, Jack never thought her pic­tures would have much life beyond her own dark­room.
