About the Book
Shooting the Breeze: Memories of a Photojournalist
For forty years, Christopher Little held a front seat to history.

Shooting the Breeze: Memories of a Photojournalist is his story. The book details his intimate talks with presidents, movie stars, supermodels, rock ’n’ rollers, and lots of other world-famous people. During his career, he covered pivotal events and society’s shapers. There are more than 400 images in the book.

As he says in the introduction, “I don’t miss the stress. But traveling the world, covering historic events and meeting people who have made a difference—in politics, journalism, music, architecture, sports, writing, acting, modeling, television—those are the thrills I do miss.” His assignments took him to 83 countries and all 50 states.

Shooting the Breeze is filled with photographs and anecdotes of such diverse people as Johnny Cash, Bush ’41, Kate Hepburn, Oprah, ABBA, William F. Buckley, Jr., Sophia Loren, Sting, P. G. Wodehouse, Meg Ryan, Muhammad Ali, Woody Allen, David Letterman, Richard Gere, Oliver Sacks, Jerry Seinfeld, Queen Elizabeth, and many others.
