A year or two ago, I took a few pictures of my pastor Clark Cothern so he would have something to submit with the articles he writes for various publications. Eventually I forgot about those pictures, but then a few months ago, he let me know that one of the pictures would be accompanying an article in Discipleship Journal. I never did get my own copy of the issue, but my sister is a subscriber, so she scanned the article for me; sure enough, right there on the second page of the article is my photo.
And just so all you skeptical readers out there believe that it’s actually mine:
Yep. Burrill took that photo. I told him I wanted to look like Brad Pitt on a motorcycle, or maybe Nicholos Cage in “Ghost Rider,” but I had to settle for being just me. I always appreciate Burrill’s great eye for a shot, the strange angle, the unusual focus, the great lighting. He manages to turn what most would see as an ordinary picture, into a wok of art. Thanks Burrill, for becoming “the official photographer” of this motorcycle-riding pastor. Keep shooting!
