| Kamala Harris for Attorney General 2010 | November 13, 2008 |
| I first approached SF DA Kamala D. Harris in 2005 to let me document her for my first documentary class at the Academy of Art University. Before the semester was over, I was asked to shoot the DA's office annual report. In 2007, I was hired to be KDH's campaign photographer. Ever so often I get a call from her office to photographer her, say with Barack Obama. I thought campaign season was over but I got a call on Monday for my availability for Wednesday morning. Turns out, campaign season just beginning for KDH, she's running for the 2010 election for California Attorney General. The photo is almost at the end of her 2 hour blitz with the media. She had about a minute to collect her thoughts before the cameraman was ready. | |
