Barry Obama at Oxy

"I'm sure Hillary would have paid a fortune for them: 'Is this who you want picking up the phone at 3 a.m.?' " Jack told the L.A. Times from from Minneapolis, where she is a psychology professor and therapist. She dug the negatives out of her basement last year. "I could have made a boatload of money, probably, but I wanted to do it right....I'm the 49-year-old woman who wanted to be a photographer but didn't follow through. I'm the Susan Boyle of the photography world."
