The phone rings late at night and it's Curio Theatre saying they need a photo really fast for a newspaper article the next morning and you're in your pajamas watching Longmire like an old man and then they say that it's for The Handmaid's Tale and suddenly this image pops into your head and you have to photograph it....

That's pretty much how it went down. We tried a couple variations with the wimple all the way on and with a bit of hair peeking out and some with a tube of lipstick and some with a cassette tape, but ultimately the original idea was really the best and we were done in 30 minutes.

I'd tell you when the play opens, but, you know, it's on the poster.

I have read the book but a theatre production sounds interesting as i am a fan of Margaret Atwood's writing.

That's special, and now I feel inspired to read the book - I never have.

Looks great. I just read the book earlier this summer.

Wait, watching Longmire makes you an old man? Oh oh.

I really like it. It "gets" the story and it's a beautiful photo.
