ABC News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz sits in her office at the ABC Washington DC Bureau Thursday, October 13, 2011.
Martha is a super cool person. When we were setting up the shoot for a New York Times profile, she wanted to know what I was thinking for the shoot. So, I threw out a few ideas, then she paused and asked: would you be interested in doing the shoot by a Blackhawk helicopter?
Me: YEESSSSS!!!!
She knows a guy, of course.
And in true Murphy’s Law fashion, it was drizzling the day of the shoot. It’s hard to look attractive, professional, and well put together when damp. Am I right? So, unfortunately, we nixed the helicopter shoot last minute. Lucky for me, she has an absolutely gorgeous office AND a sense of adventure. So, when I asked if she wanted to continue the shoot on the roof, her eyes got wide: Yes! I’ve never been up there!
She calls the operations manager and next thing we know, we’re on top of the world!!!!
…errr, the ABC building in DC.
On our way back down, she noticed these cool reflections and walked out into the shallow water.
Me: Oooooh! can we take some more photos here?
Martha: Duh!
…okay, she didn’t say “duh,” but she was super-into the idea.
This was definitely one of the most fun portrait shoots I’ve had this year.
