About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

NY Governor George Pataki at Jefferson County Fair

I've been going through my archives and scanning negatives. The picture here was taken in 2001. It's NY Governor George Pataki and NY Senator James Wright during a visit to the Jefferson County Fair. The family in the picture is Heather & Dave Shipps with their son Jake. I feel it's a classic picture of American politics.
