Well, looks like that is over now

Hillary never turned me down for a photo shoot until two weeks ago.
She turned me down for a photo shoot for the first time in eight years.
That hurt.
I had planned this trip across the ocean for a photo shoot.
But now there is no photo shoot.
That was a big part of me; photographing Hillary.
She is the subject of one of my best photographs, one of the original Bubble Gum photos.
Like Richard Avedon losing Audrey Hepburn or Dovima.
She turned me down with a week and a half window.
Nine months ago we were able to set up a photo shoot with about a three hour window.

This felt like my photographic heart was being ripped out.
