Today, I photographed at an art exhibit event for my friend. There were as much people, as there were wine and yummy snacks. The apartment is a beautiful penthouse by Columbus Circle. I pray that someday God and hard work will bless me with a space like that. Everyone at the event was a happy person. All the smiles were genuine and everyone lingered long enough after a handshake to learn a little something from everyone. It was nice to get to hide behind the camera and notice these things. One almost disappears and becomes an instrument. It is funny how different people react to a camera and how with enough given time they tend to embrace having their image taken and almost always go from an uncomfortable extreme to a Kodak commercial-like attitude. The apartment was a lighting nightmare. Finding the right exposures were near impossible since the lighting and structure of the apartment were so dramatically different every few feet apart. It was rather challenging and annoying. But, hey I did I mention the wine and yummy snacks?
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed yourself. Thanks very, much for your assistance last night. It was an awesome show, pieces were sold, and the yummy food and drinks were enjoyed by all (even though preparing it made me late to the show). And on a high note, you were hit. Everyone asked who the photographer was. =)
Good job!
