From Bill White in Anchorage --

John Keatley, whose photograph of Sarah Palin will adorn the cover of her memoir "Going Rogue," has blogged about all the attention the photo is getting.

Here's a sample:

The photo shoot only happened three weeks ago, so this is all still very new and exciting for me. After much planning and scheduling, I put together a crew and flew up to Alaska for six days to photograph the former governor. It was supposed to rain the entire week we were there, but we ended up getting blue skies and puffy white clouds the entire time. After a few days of scouting and prepping, I shot for three days straight. The last day we went to Hatcher Pass which holds a lot of meaning for Sarah.
