So, yesterday I was on my way to Central Park for a great photoshoot with 4 wonderful beautiful women from Ireland (I’ll post an image or two from the shoot later). We get to Columbus circle and notice Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and their grandchild Ryder Russell Robinson at around 5:15PM.
Now, since I’m not a paparazzi photographer I wasn’t prepared to be honest. Still I grabbed my camera out of my bag, whipped on my lens and this was the best shot I was able to get. Obviously not a great shot.
I really didn’t want to be one of those annoying photographers so I called out to her to ask her if I could get a shot. She paused for just a second and I could tell she must’ve had ten billion thoughts running through her mind – who is this dude, where will these photos end up, what must I look like in this heat, etc.
Bottom line – she gave me the dis and turned away. As a big fan I would have loved just a quick smile, but that was not to be.
Like I said, I’m not paparrazi and wasn’t going to behave like one. Rather than running ahead and trying to catch a better shot, I decided to repsect her as an individual trying to just have a normal day. I turned off my camera and went on to my shoot.
So Goldie, if you ever read this I’m still a fan and would still love to get a shot of you.
