Staying in the archives for now. Found myself on a plane with the then Secretary of State in February of 2009. She gave permission for a shot and chatted briefly but while we were walking briskly in not great light.
Seemed appropriate for the day after Election Day, with ballots still being counted. Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was on a flight I took to LaGuardia. I caught this snap after landing as she and her escorts were hurrying to their waiting limos. After giving permission, she asked who I was with [which newspaper] and I explained I was freelance and she was my 4th Secretary of State. She asked who else I had and I told her Elliot Richardson, Cyrus Vance and John Kerry. “All good men,” she assured me before dashing off. As you can see, I didn’t manage a high enough shutter speed to prevent some blur.
