Not long ago I received a very unusual and interesting request from Town&Country magazine – did I want to fly down to Charlottesville, VA in the TRUMP helicopter and shoot the the young Trump son Eric at the winery Trump had just artfully acquired from none other than former Richest Woman in America* Patricia Kluge. As soon as I heard “heli” I was in. But there were some catches (of course) – no room for an assistant, no room for lights or much equipment, no guarantee of access to some of the areas that I’d need to cover for the story (specifically the palatial Kluge mansion), and no guarantee of access to Patricia Kluge herself (she didn’t want to be photographed). No problem, get me in that helicopter and I’ll make it work.
