Fairy tale in New York


Highlight: Seeing Nina Conti and Monkey - ventriloquism was never so good.








Lowlight: Not being able to join in the bidding for the auction.

Fill-in: This was a charity dinner for Vision, and the Theme was A Fairy Tale in New York. I donned a white shirt, black trousers and waistcoat hoping to be reminiscent of Fred Astaire, but with camera in hand was more like Yoko Ono. The party area was decked out like Studio 57, and entertainers with fluorescent afros wiggled round the tables. Up for auction was a shopping trip in New York, Ronnie Wood's Guitar and George Michael's leather jacket.

Tech Spec: It was just like doing a live gig with lights flashing into the lens, and lots of smoke but I had the added fun of having to crawl through the forest of tables to get the shots. I used F2.8 at 1/250 second at 1600 and lots of excuse me's to get through the evening.
