I see that my hometown newspaper chose this particular shot to print today, too (whatever is on the web site is generally always on the front page of the paper).

Always good to be able to meet those in the history books.
Mr. Clinton is one of those I wouldn't walk a block to meet. Hard to respect someone in his position that made a mockery of our Judicial system, lied to every person in this country, and now is making a lot of money off his fame.
So he got caught. So what. To lie under oath in his position - unforgivable.



What's your point?

Could say exactly the same things about the current president just as a start.

There are plenty of threads in Rant where you can "discuss" such things.

How is June 4 for you? I have a dentist appointment that day, and I would gladly hand over the duties of being me to someone else :)

I think he would have preferred if you shook something else for him.

Great shot though man.

Haven't you seen The Family Guy with Bill Clinton, him and Peter get to know each other pretty well, he's that good!

Thought I'd revive this thread with a new development...

President Clinton is speaking at a university just a few miles from home again tomorrow morning. I do some photography work for this college's PR department, and they called yesterday to see if I would shoot his visit. AND... this includes shooting President Clinton posing with the president of the university.

So this means that I'll be solely shooting President Clinton with the university president in a private room prior to his speech! And as a result, there's every possibility that I could actually have somewhat of a conversation with Mr. Clinton, which opens the door wide open for me to make a complete fool of myself by saying something stupid.

I'm already picturing the headlines:

PRESIDENT CLINTON VISITS ROBERT MORRIS UNIVERSITY

Thats pretty cool, You should take a copy of the photo you posted at the start of this thread and have him sign it for you.
 04/17/2008 10:29:31 PM · #39
That's pretty cool! Maybe you guys could smoke a cigar together after the photo shoot, just make sure you bring your own cigar ;p
 04/17/2008 10:40:39 PM · #40
I thought of that, and it would be very cool to have, but unfortunately that would also fall under the category of "not a cool thing to do on a paying gig." So I'll have to scrap that notion. However... he's going to be at yet another nearby town on Saturday, and if I can go in as a non-press person and weasel my way up front... hmmm... :)

Just kidding, :O)

"...So Mr. President, I forgot my remote, so I'm just going to set the timer for ten seconds, then I'll hit the shutter button, run around next to you and, uh, would you put your arm around me?..."

Congrats, Alan! You often seem to be in the right place at the right time!

Comments about Mr. Bill have been pre-edited. :)

Very interesting opportunities and I really like that first photo. I'm not a fan, but then again I haven't been a fan of most holders of that office. I hope we get to see how your university shoot turns out.

I wonder if you'll be able to borrow a line from jblaylockrayner in his shoot of Jason Alexander. You know, just say this shoot is for "a gay magazine called Honco - Men in Boots"

Good work Alan. Welcome to the "touched a president" club. Though strictly speaking I'm not in it, since JFK wasn't president when I shook his hand after a campaign thing in San Diego, way back when I was a HS student. Dang, but he was a handsome man... Or am I wearing rose-colored glasses in my old age?

R.


nope you're right he was hot :0P

Just about to head out the door, now that I've gotten all of the cat hair brushed off my suit. Of all the places for it to decide to sleep last night...

Give him a smooch for me! Good luck!

My parents went to High School with Elizabeth Dole....My dad said they hung in different circles, but they all knew each other. I got to see one of the Kennedy's up close on Long Island---doing some type of campaigning. I was just a little girl, and my neighbor said don't get too close to him---someone might take a shot at him! The comment left a lasting impression on me.

I can hear Mr. Clinton's raspy Arkansas drawl now: "Excuse me, Alan, isn't it customary to remove the lens cap?"
