Show Biz - Roots

LaVar Burton and the Roots photo.  This was done in 1977 for ABC Television during a
whole day of publicity photography.  I had this idea and shot the profile first, then
re-wound the film back to a mark I had made while loading the film and re-exposed the
shot with LaVar looking right into the lens.  We only had about 5 minutes to do this shot
and LaVar was right there with the emotion.  It became the cover of Time Magazine.
