Confession.....
A little over a month ago my very good friend
George Lange contacted me regarding a photo shoot. He was coming to DC for the first time since I've known him and needed a local assistant. I said yes with no hesitation. Any time with George is quality for me.
We were shooting the 8.28 Glenn Beck rally. I got a bit of run around from George's studio manager about who we were shooting for. I figured whatever magazine, it was really an interesting moment of history to witness. And I definitely needed the money. Turned out we were shooting for Glenn Beck himself.
Standing in the crystal ballroom of the Willard hotel in DC at 6:30 am with Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and the people who paid thousands of dollars to be there; I realized how disgusting I felt. Luckily I was never formally introduced, I dont think I would have been capable of shaking hands. I'm the girl who started a fundraising group against Sarah Palin! There was no way. But it was a job and i did it. I wont say anything about the rally because as luck has it, you can see for yourselves soon enough.
Glenn Beck is publishing a book. Apparently he is using a bunch of my images. I got an interesting call to let me know and ask me if I wanted credit. What a strange feeling, to not know. I'm being published! I'm a photographer, this is something I could put on my resume. If it was anything else.
I took the credit. I have no details on the book, I'm sure we'll all hear about it at some point. I took the credit because its my work and I stand behind it, always. I just hope that whoever picks up the book sees what I saw, a bunch of people seriously lacking in tact and information.
