This is not exactly what I would expect.
This picture was in 1997.
Annie Leibovitz did – she was doing a photo shoot of me for Vanity Fair.
And so we were trying to get just the right picture.
So first we started in the Richmond Medical Examiner's Office.
And that picture, you may have seen it before.
I'm at an autopsy table and I have a cigarette hanging out of my mouth.
And that was sort of the picture she was looking for.
But the one you're talking about was taken in the cooler.
of the Richmond Medical Examiner's Office.
And yes, indeed, that is a dead body.
And that was Annie Leibovitz took that photo.
And the funny thing is the picture that's on the cover, when she was trying to take pictures of me, Dr. Fierro, Marcella Fierro, who was the deputy chief at that time and my mentor,
She was across the room with her little Canon SureShot camera, and every time Annie Leibovitz, the great Annie Leibovitz, is trying to take one of her pictures, Marcella's going, snap, and the little flash cube is going off.
And Annie finally lowers her massive camera, and she looks across the room and says, could you please just not do that while I'm doing this?
Well, that was not anything that I ever planned on.
And I'm glad you asked because a lot of people, they've assumed that that is what, that I was working there.
And while I was working there, I got ideas for writing books.
It was the total opposite.
I started out a journalist after college and within six or eight months of being at the Charlotte Observer in Charlotte, well, you know, North Carolina, in Charlotte, North Carolina, they assigned me the police beat.
