Two photographers in the morning
Me and my friend photographer David Kennerly the other day. Dave goes from photographing presidential candidates one day to photographing little old me the next. Weird.
Another David Hume Kennerly portrait
I got lucky the other day and David pointed the camera at me. 
Robert Iger, Me, and Backyard Bird Photography
It’s not every day that you get to present your book to the Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, but Bob, ever gracious, posed with me and my book. A really nice gesture. When I showed him the inscription in the book, he said, “Oh, that’s nice.” I said to Bob, “Would you be in a picture with me and the book, I won’t post it, I’ll just save it for personal use,” and he said, “You can post it.” So here it is, along with the dedication. A great moment, indeed.
Me and Donald Rumsfeld’s books
Through a friend, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld graciously signed copies of his books for me. KNOWN AND UNKNOWN is a fascinating recounting of the wars in the Middle East in the aftermath of 9/11, and the book also includes some great sections on Mr. Rumsfeld’s working relationship with President Ford as well. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
The Birdman of Bel Air in a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
The nice owner of this car offered to take my picture while I was in the driver’s seat. The Birdman of Bel Air is my column on NationalGeographic.com. 
Making sense out of the portraits
This time one is cropped, the other not. This time the shirt is unbuttoned one button down, showing more of the orange shirt. This time I’m looking away from the camera, instead of right at the camera. Choices, well, when the shirt was buttoned to the top button the day before, I had just forgotten to unbutton the top button. But the look is kind of cool there too. In the end, some folks would say it doesn’t matter. But in this age of images, maybe it does in a subtle way.
