Fashion Celebrities

For quite sometime I had been wanting to add a celebrity section to my website. Now this has been realized. A couple of months ago I was walking on Madison, well after business hours, when I saw Ralph Lauren coming out of an office building. Instinctively I took a shot, but then I thought, it couldn't hurt to ask him to pose. A man form his entourage quickly opposed my request, as quickly as I had taken the first shot of Mr. Lauren, but then he said to his assistant.... No, no that's ok. I felt that Mr. Lauren exuded a kind manner of being by taking a moment from his busy schedule to accommodate me. In fact I found this to be true of all the celebrities appearing here and on my website. Mr. Hamish Bowles who also had been literally running to an appointment just a couple of days ago, stopped for a few pictures.

Ms Lynn Yaeger and Patirck Mcdonald were just super making it ez for me.

ENJOY

Oh Farrah.....................

I was just going through some of my images that I had taken at the NYC Fashion shows earlier this year and came across the last three that you see here, and thought of them as being reminiscent of Farrah Fawcett.

Farrah Fawcett Majors as she was known at the time Time Magazine published the above two pictures, I think was very inspirational in many ways, even to this day. The fashion and particularly her hair has always been of interest when making reference to this type of cut. You know, " her hair is like Farrah's", or " there goes Farrah" when referring to a woman on the street.

I am writing this brief note for many personal reasons, but mainly because I saw Farrah on the very steps where I had taken pictures of this woman with the " Farrah's hair" , and if my memory serves me right, in a coat similar to this one. It was at the September 2008 fashion shows. The weather was cool but very sunny........ and there she was, Farrah coming down the stairs stopping for a few seconds for the photographers with a big smile. She still had that hair , albeit a bit more toned down.

My best to all that are close to her.
