Wacky Portraits of Sherman Alexie

In approx 2002, a photographer friend called to refer a job to me to shoot NW indian author, Sherman Alexie, for the Guardian.  It started with great black and white shoot on my Hasselblad in Seattle's Arboretum near his office.  His office liked the shots then hired me a few more times to shoot images for their own use.  Here's one of the shoots we did, I can't remember the goal but he was always doing various projects to promote his books.  Quite the character, it was a fun shoot.

Shot with a 17mm lens in my studio at the time using an umbrella and White Lightning strobe.
