"Going Rogue" - Outtake Cover Pictures

John Keatley was the photographer who took this picture for Sarah Palin's new book, "Going Rogue."

Now, here's some of the pictures that didn't make the cut:





The Photographer's story:

"This photoshoot only happened three weeks ago, so this is all still very new and exciting for me. After much planning and scheduling, I put together a crew and flew up to Alaska for six days to photograph the former governor. It was supposed to rain the entire week we were there, but we ended up getting blue skies and puffy white clouds the entire time. After a few days of scouting and prepping, I shot for three days straight. The last day we went to Hatcher Pass which holds a lot of meaning for Sarah. I had already scheduled the pass a few different times, and I knew exactly where we were going to shoot. Every last detail was in place. After shooting at the base of the pass near the river, we caravaned up to the top of the pass where we were planning to shoot the final location. Half way up, I noticed the beautiful light that was sweeping across the valley, and the clouds that were developing on the horizon. I told the driver to stop, we had to change our plans. This last minute change ended up being the final setup we would do with Sarah, and it also ended up being the cover image."

Hmmmm, three days of shooting. That must means there's a lot more pictures lying around somewhere.... Share, share, please share!

Brave, smart, ethical, and a natural leader.
And she’s beautiful too!? Her opponents don’t have a chance.
