Unexpectedly cool news of the day: Rachel Alexandra will be featured in the August issue of Vogue magazine. Fashion photographer Steven Klein hauled a backdrop out to the Churchill Downs backstretch and put on a photo shoot worthy of Madonna, if Madonna was wearing only a halter and a lead shank (hey, I'm sure she's come close). Being both a photography nerd and a worshipper of Alexandra the Great, I can't wait to see the end product. It'll mark the first time I ever actually go out and buy Vogue.
And finally... I got my second cover today! I almost missed it, and thanks to one of my Flickr contacts, I was informed my photo of Calvin Borel in the paddock after the Kentucky Derby was on the cover of NTRA.com. They like me, they really like me!
You're killin' 'em with the NTRA front-page photos! ... Can't believe I haven't mentioned this yet, either, but sweet taste in music, especially AFP.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the NTRA cover...awesome work.
ReplyDeleteMy congratulations as well on the NTRA cover. That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI've never bought Vogue either, but I'll be purchasing that issue also!
Thanks, all!
ReplyDeleteGlenn- I was soooo torn between seeing Amanda the night before the Belmont in NYC, and being fresh for my first Belmont, but in the end, I made up my mind I can't be off my game for the big race (I wouldn't get home from her show until near 2:00am). This marks the third time in a row I've missed Amanda when she was no further than two hours away from me. I've never seen her live, so it was an excruciating decision.
