ROOM TO GROW...BUT NOT IN PRESS PEN


Room To Grow Benefit
Christie's Auction House, 5:30pm
January 23, 2007

Things started out bad, and never got better.

The PR placed marked spots for those that RSVP'd.
Now...just take a look at the photo to see how much room they provided for each photographer. The short side of an 81/2 X 11 sheet of paper? OVERLAPPING? FOR OVER 40 PHOTOGRAPHERS? About 15 photogs decided to shoot outside in front to the building.

Uma Thurman arrives by walking across the street from the NBC with her boyfriend Andre Balazs. All hell breaks loose. The outside shooters bum rushes them and mayhem ensues. Everyone was running around, bouncing off each other... two photogs even slammed into the glass doors! Someone dropped their cell phone and Uma picked it up asking whose it was.

Uma enters the press area and poses up a storm. Solo with her coat on, with Andre, solo coat off... If you know how to work, you got good shots; which translates to "only a few did well" :)
