My Claim To Fame With Rog Blagojevich

This picture was on Jan. 3 of 2003 when I was a staff photographer for the Southern Illinoisan in Carbondale, Ill., and Rod Blagojevich was the newly appointed Illinois Governor. Nearly, five years later, it seems Blago's run in the state senate is over.
What stuck out to me when I was in the process of taking this photo was how it gave the resemblance of a Lincoln penny and since Illinois is the Land Of Lincoln, I thought it would be a different perspective on what the citizens thought they were getting in a new Governor. Boy, were we wrong!
