I shot this picture of Granny D at her 100th birthday party in January. The Governor's Executive Suite was pretty crowded with her fans and various media, and I decided to get creative to show her in the spotlight. I wrote about it on my personal blog, saying I wasn't sure whether the picture really worked. Dennis Burke, who co-wrote her memoir, happened upon the entry and told me that he'd showed the photo to Granny D. "She thinks it is, hands down, her favorite picture of herself," he wrote. What a compliment. She was an inspiration to many of us here in New Hampshire and throughout the US, and she will be missed. Keep shining, Granny D.
