Every once in awhile I get to shoot something oddball like this. The event was the book release party for Clarence Clemon's book "Big Man - Real Life and Tall Tales" at The Hard Rock Cafe in New York City on 11/06/09. Fun event and I think I got a few interesting shoots that night.

As always, comments and critique are appreciated.

1. A couple of Ford Modeling agency gals that I'm still not sure why they were there...but they were cute.

Thank you, Tim. That is one of the best compliments a photojournalist can hear.

I did expect a wise-ass comment about The Belz from you though. You're slipping!
