But it's also my new head shot, to be found on the Wilton Bulletin "about us" page. A thumbnail-size version will run with all of my stories.
And I love it.
Huh?
Not long after I started with the paper, it was requested that I put a bio up and get a head shot as well.
Yeah, yeah. I'll get to it.
Nobody nagged and I let it go, but the email was always there as a reminder.
Then came last Friday, when a bright young photographer, on his first assignment, was out in the field with me. I had just finished talking with someone outside the Wilton Library when I asked the photo journalist to take my picture. "Just get me, basically, from the head up."
The photographer, wielding a Nikon camera, was Sean Adams.
Now you can probably guess why I love it.
My bio is typical me: humorous to an extent (with nods to Paul Silverfarb, The Beatles, and Huey Lewis), and a radio mention (though I shouldn't have put "respected broadcaster." Wow. What the hell was I thinking?).
By the way, Sean took some really nice photos. There is a shot that he will get one of them printed in this week's Bulletin, though I'm not 100% certain. After stopping at the library, we drove to Merwin Meadows - a small park in Wilton - and he went to work. These are some of his better shots.
And what would this be without a picture of the photographer, who of course deserved some time on the playground?
