A bit more about the photographer who is laying claim to a particularly popular Sarah Palin photograph.
The photographer, Jeff Schultz, took the photograph when Palin was governor of Alaska, and the image was used as her official headshot, according to Sharon Leighow, who was deputy press secretary for Palin.
"He took the picture. We were allowed to use it as the official photo," Leighow said. But Schultz always retained the rights to the photo, she said.
Leighow is now the press secretary to the current Alaska governor, Sean Parnell. But during Palin's tenure, Leighow said the official picture of Palin was widely distributed.
If you wrote a letter and asked for a picture of Palin, "you would get a photo in the mail," said Leighow.
In fact, Leighow said they may have even kept a stack of pictures in the office, in case anybody came by and wanted one.
