The cover of Time’s Ted Kennedy Commemorative Issue features a photo that made him look dead while he was still alive.
No surprise, the photographer was the uni-named Platon, who also embalmed John McCain on a Time cover during last year’s presidential race, which no doubt nabbed the necrofilmia vote but didn’t do much for McCain.
Just-Platon also shot the “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth” portrait of Dan Rather for the New York Times Magazine several years ago.
Me? At gunpoint I wouldn’t let this guy take my picture.

That photograph is dreadful!
I’ll never be famous enough to be in such a position and hopefully never infamous enough, but I appreciate the warning to avoid Platon like the plague!
