My session with Robin and Jerry was one of the most hysterical ever.
We’re wandering around Tribeca doing our thing and people keep stopping and looking at us. I mean, people are always watching me work with my clients since we’re out having too much fun making pictures, but this was different. People were staring. Staring and taking pictures. Taking pictures of us taking pictures. Like, throughout the entire session. Different people. It was kinda weird. But we kept doing our thing…
Finally someone comes closer and asks in a vaguely British accent, “Excuse me, are you famous?”
THAT’S what it was. This didn’t look like an engagement session to them. It looked like a discreet shoot of some huge star by some big photographer. Robin totally has a rock star presence. And Jerry has that look that he could be anything – actor, musician, whatever. And I, well, I had expensive cameras and big lenses.
“I HIGHLY doubt you’ve heard of us,” I replied.
Robin says she gets it all the time.
When we were done, Robin put on her sunglasses. And there it was – she WAS Sarah Jessica Parker!
Alas, I put on my sunglasses and I still wasn’t anybody.
