Some of you may already know that I have had the honor to be Al Franken’s photographer as he runs for US Senate here in Minnesota. I strongly beleive in voting with my skills and encourage everyone with a marketable skill to do so regardless of party affiliation, it is the best way I know of to help maintain our democracy.
So…I have been following Al around to some of his events. Several weeks ago we had the privilage to spend a couple of hours with Al and his wife Franny in their home, we collaborated on making his official headshot along with several other formal and informal captures. My good friend and fellow photographer extrodinaire Randi also helped with the session. They were truly a delight to be around, Franny is a very dear person and Al besides his infamous sense of humor is all heart.
I have had the privilage of photographing other polical candidates and Al is probably the most real I have seen.
Anyway, keep checking back as I’ll be posting more as we head towards the nominating convention.
