After working yesterday on a dental
commercial from the AAO encouraging adult braces to boost your
self-esteem, this was sent to me by a colleague. Perfection.

Keeping up...
...is hard to do! :) September has gone by in a blur. A good, busy,
fun blur. After living in NYC for about 5 years now I had my first real
in-depth run in with Fashion Week. I've shot FW before, but never the
whole thing and so extensively. I now know everything there is to know
about Spring 2012. This is what I was busy doing the first part of
September:
Ladies, there be a HOT trend of tribal themed pieces, pastels, and um...from MJacobs...cellophane. Perfect for those muggy April days. :) Seriously though it was a fun experience and the nicest part was probably the camaraderie amongst the photographers and shooters when in the pit. Well, at least the ones that have been doing this at least 10 seasons and know not to get all up in arms and start fights.
Here is an example:
Yes, this is real. Yes, this is really how it is. The man in the front (yes, the one that looks like a RnR roadie) is the pit guy I saw most often during the big shows. These guys are serious and this one in particular takes great pride in his job. They also have the authority to kick you out on your keester if you're out of line. What you can't see is the barrier sash strung across the front. Keeping the pit from the show goers. No one is allowed to sit on the floor. All the front row people you see are sitting on boxes or "turtles" - a very smartly designed collapsible stool. (The week had reached its most absurd point for me when I heard a 50+ yo man yell out in anger "She stole my turtle! And now she's just sitting on it!"
You will notice the difference between the pic above - a big professional show - with a professional pit crew and the one below.
Notice the floor sitting and the lack of barrier and allll those feet just sticking out. These are all the other things I learned during Fashion Week. :)
The best part of the week for me? Meeting Lauren Hutton.

That is all for now.
