James Earl Carter Jr. was born in Plains, Georgia on October 1, 1924. As a young boy, he started working at his father’s store and tried his best to stay out of trouble.

Mere minutes after President Jimmy Carter was out of office, the Iran Hostage Crisis, for which his presidency is most remembered, was over. Behind him was a disjointed foreign and confused domestic policy. When he left office, Carter’s approval rating was 34 percent, and his disapproval rating nearly twice that (Roper Center). Today, it seems that he is a better ex-President than he was a president, as evidenced in his founding of the Carter Center, his cultivation of his presidential library, his contributions to Habitat for Humanity, and his numerous other humanitarian efforts. During his term, he had a poor relationship with Congress, a low approval rating with the American people, and a lack of cohesive international or domestic policy. I believe his two greatest failures are also the two which marked his entire presidency and caused the drop in his approval ratings: the confused and faltering domestic and international policies which lasted throughout his presidency and the Iran Hostage Crisis.
At home, the conditions Carter was facing started long before he came into office. He was expected to single-handedly cure the oil shortage and the massive inflation crisis. But, these things couldn’t be done in one term when their circumstances came together starting decades earlier, by the decisions of earlier presidents to create the perfect storm.

Handsome, little Jack Carter was a delight for me as his newborn photographer. It's always amazing when I'm entrusted with the newborn photos of a budding family. I had the honor of capturing Jack's big sister Sawyer when she was a newborn approximately 17 months ago too.
