If you have a chance today, pick up the New York Times or check out their website, nytimes.com and go to the Style section, to read about Jenny Sanford, the First Lady of South Carolina and the soon to be former wife of Gov. Mark Sanford.
I had the opportunity to photograph Mrs. Sanford at the Governor's Mansion in Columbia while she was being interviewed by Jan Hoffman of the New York Times. The interview was a chance to talk about Mrs. Sanford's memoir, "Staying True" which was released this week.
I've been lucky enough to photograph Mrs. Sanford a few times and I must say she is a pretty cool woman. She is tall and very well put together and she has a great sense of humor. I loved when she showed us the kitchen and talked about how difficult it was to try to do something as simple as make cookies in a kitchen that has ovens that look like something NASA might have on the Space Shuttle.
I know Mrs. Sanford has an appearance scheduled on ABC's Good Morning America and The View on Monday along with chatting with Larry King on CNN. On Friday she will be at The Barnes and Noble on Forest Drive for a book signing which begins at 7pm. Take a look or drop in and see her on Friday and tell her thanks for being true and giving us all a great example of how to handle a rotten situation with style, humor and grace.
