The article about my efforts to reform Social Security was published on Sunday.
I was a little apprehensive when the newspaper told me they were going to send someone over to photograph one of my podcasting sessions. I am a man of humble means, and my furniture consists of the desk that I built for myself, a lamp that was a housewarming gift from my parents, and an old sofa that someone gave me. While the apartment suits me just fine, it does not exactly seem like the setting for a great photo opportunity.
The photographer turned out to be a great guy. He told me to just start recording a podcast while he figured out how to get a good picture. He took a few photos, and then decided that the lighting needed to be adjusted. When he opened the blinds, sunlight poured in through the window and created a cool shadow effect on the wall. He said that the shadows reminded him of sound waves.
Anyway, I am not the most photogenic guy around, but I think the picture turned out really awesome. It may just be the best photo anyone has ever taken of me.
The article is available for viewing on the main site.
