I recently photographed Tom Tancredo in his Jefferson County home for NRC, a dutch publication.  Tancredo is a former congressman from Colorado who made his political bed on issues related to immigration.  He recently took his not-so-infrequent dip into hot water after making a speech at the Tea Party Convention where he suggested a poll test for people wishing to vote in the presidential election.  Tancredo’s political ideas have always been something that I’ve had difficulty swallowing, though the thing that I enjoy most about this job is the ability to meet people on their territory and to see them as separate from their rhetoric.  I took a series of very simple portraits for the magazine in Tancredo’s basement.  The first picture is what ran, the following pictures are outtakes that I liked.
