Early in my career, George Bush sat on the White House thrown. Hillary Clinton was a Senator from New York, and I was hired to photograph an official state visit from Polish ex-President Lech Walesa.

“WHAT?” said the rather pushy person on the phone, “But I want YOU.” No, she didn’t want me in the way you’re thinking. She wanted me to shoot her wedding. I don’t shoot weddings.
