Our intention was to create a selection of compelling portraiture. The range of images was meant to feel like a random collection but not random at all: the collection is fun and memorable, including 16 pages of stories revealing funny, exceptional moments during photo sessions with subjects such as Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, John Malkovich, Jesse Jackson and so many others. The collaborators, longtime friends Sandro, Greg Samata, Beth May and Kim Blanchette, joined forces to bring everything good to this book
“Great jacket—the pink is a real eye-catcher. Love the photography.”
