Jason is an excellent photographer and a friend of mine. He has a great touch with light and exposure. Thanks, Jason. The pen is a nice prop, as I use this pen to write my books, and to sign them after they’re published.
Here’s my friend, photographer David Hume Kennerly, posing for me on the spur of the moment. Sometimes the best photos occur that way. Click here to check out his book DAVID HUME KENNERLY ON THE IPHONE, published by Goff Books.
First, at the trailhead. Along the trail. Then: Sometimes breaking the rules works. Even though I’m looking out of frame, the power of the desert landscape balances this out and creates a sense of drama in the photo. 
The book is just out so I like to make a portrait right away. 
I’m putting some of these portraits together for my nice publicity person at Skyhorse Publishing. Tilley hat; black hat; tan hat. Which is best?
I did this last September. You can see my right arm holding the cable release to take the photo. It was tough to center it. Talk to the camera.
