I would say that generally my policy was to politely refuse a "celebrity" photo opportunity. Then years ago Bill Clinton asked if I wanted a photo and I politely declined and immediately felt like a rude idiot. How could I refuse the opportunity with Malala Yousafzai. I hope my daughter has even an ounce of her drive

Sirius XM at the Comedy Cellar in 2013
Before I had kids I used to photograph much more entertainment jobs in the evening and some of these Sirius XM comedy nights were some of my favorite. Especially this particular evening in 2013 where Matt Damon was the surprise guest and Amy Schumer did some incredible stand up routine.

City Harvest Skip Lunch Fight Hunger
You spend $15 on lunch because you live in New York City. You feed 60 kids with $15 because you’re a New Yorker. And with nearly 420,000 in our city facing hunger, you know you’re going to do something about it.

Governor's Committee on Scholastic Achievement Awards at The Pierre Hotel
The Governor’s Committee on Scholastic Achievement (GCSA) is a nimble nonprofit that partners with schools and corporations to provide one-to-one workplace-based mentoring across the four years of high school (and beyond!) in order to equip young people from under-resourced communities for college and career success. GCSA provides youth with unique opportunities to experience first-hand the “world of work,” develops relationships between mentees and mentors who can serve as role models, and provides innovative guidance to students as they develop their goals and focus on their future.
