Blog Guy, I’ve seen some recent pictures of Sarah Palin’s shoes. My impression is that readers are very interested in the shoes of important women. Do you agree?
You’re so right! When people hear about a woman in a prominent position, the first thing they always ask is, ”What about her shoes?”
Shoe coverage is an important sub-specialty in journalism. For example, France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. As you can see in this photo combo, we cover her shoes nearly as comprehensively as the rest of her.
So, you mean you have photographers who specialize in shooting women’s shoes at a news event?
Of course. That’s their sole purpose, so to speak.
And they work alone?
No, usually they team up with our handbag photographers.
