Vice President Joe Biden has joined Instagram.

The VP opened an account at instagram.com/vp and posted a beautiful first photo that shows, mainly, his Ray-Ban aviators. But Joe's in there somewhere.

"Vice President Biden's getting ready to head to Pennsylvania with President Obama this afternoon, where he'll lay out steps we can take to train America's workers with the skills they need for good middle-class jobs," the first post says. "Follow @VP for the latest from the Vice President, and the occasional aviators pic."

The account's launch was first announced by Chris Mackler, a photo editor at the Office of the Vice President.

"Launching today: @VP @JoeBiden's @Instagram account. If you're an Instagrammer, join us: http://instagram.com/vp," he tweeted five minutes before the official announcement came from the VP's official Twitter account.

It was the White House, though, that truly nailed the announcement:

The @VP? ✔ Aviators? ✔ On @Instagram? ✔ You're gonna want to follow along → http://t.co/pduQcCkFVx, pic.twitter.com/4yFJoMYEwI— The White House (@WhiteHouse) April 16, 2014
