Keatley's blog seems to have attracted a lot of interest over the weekend, and Politico's Click blog had a feature article up on the photographer Monday.
Leave it to liberal Politico to bury the lede that Keatley thought Sarah was "great to work with" and instead throw in a slam at Palin right off the bat. Author Daniel Libit (that's his name; we're not making this up) gratuitously interjected that Sarah Palin was criticized for the price the RNC paid for her wardrobe during the campaign, but he conveniently neglected to mention that the decision to to purchase the clothes was entirely that of McCain campaign staffers . Sarah Palin neither asked for, nor shopped for the items. It's old news, and it has nothing to do with the photo shoot, but the Democrat-Media Complex has to get those DNC talking points in lest they not be allowed to bask in the intoxicating presence of The One.
Excerpts:
The photographer and an assistant spent six days in Alaska with Palin. Most of the locations Keatley scouted were around Palin’s hometown of Wasilla, and the shot that was ultimately selected for the cover was taken overlooking Hatcher Pass, a scenic notch in the Talkeetna Mountains – about 13 miles from the Palin home.- JP

In his photograph, Keatley was hoping to capture something natural. “I think she did really seem to come alive when we were in Hatcher pass,” he said. “There was something noticeable about it. She seemed to be very content.”
[...]
“She was great to work with,” is about all Keatley would say of Palin. He noted that on the first night, Palin ordered dinner for Keatley and his photo staff. “She was very kind and I didn’t have any deep or interesting conversations with her,” he said.
[...]
Keatley said that the propriety of the photos that he shot of Palin but weren’t ultimately selected by HarperCollins is “still up in the air.”
