There have been many, but one of the more fun experiences , was when I got to photograph the U.S. Vice President. I met him at the airport when he flew in on airforce 2. I was told to arrive early so that the Secret Service could go through all my equipment. I was then briefed on how to move around the Vice President with as little fast movement as possible. They have buttons that you wear that tell the Secret Service what kind of accessibility around him. I had the highest accessibility to him, which meant I could touch him, that made my job easier. 😎 I drove in his motorcade which drives along at 70 mph and is not supposed to stop until you get to the location, at that speed limit. Not to continue writing a book but I found it to be one of the more memorable photographic events that I have done.
