Presidenting Takes Its Toll

I’ve always been a bit fascinated by how much a president ages from his term in office, the physical toll that is, although I don’t think Reagan showed a lot of age from his span in office.  But to be fair, the first picture was probably done in a studio and touched up a bit whereas the second photo was a random outdoor shot.
