Fashion Week in NYC

Hey! I am currently in New York shooting the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week for Wedding Style Magazine. And my first night was capped off by a crazy scene. While photographing a Red Carpet event with many B list celebs, the evening was topped off by an appearance from Jessica Simpson. Now, I have never been around the Paparazzi, but tonight I got my first taste of why I don't think I would ever want to be a celeb.

For three hours shooting random people like Bam Margera, Nick Cannon, Tim Gunn, there were approx. 10 photogs. Enter Jessica Simpson. Her Escalade pulls up, and along side it, 3 or 4 motorcycles and a bunch of other cars (all paparazzi), coming to a screeching halt, stopping in the middle of the street, and then rushing her vehicle with cameras in hand. I thought I had my spot secured on the carpet, but once her ginormous body guards escorted her my way after fighting thru the swarm of photogs, the paparzzi pushed their way between me and the other photographers who had patiently waited all night for her arrival. It was a scene like I had never witnessed before, and the only thing I could think of was poor Princess Diana.

But I got my shot and a few others.
