Philly Chit Chat

No matter where I shoot, the true fans have a great kinship for their idols. The women in the foreground in red is in a wheelchair and found out that the only way she could meet the Boyz was to buy a CD. She didn’t have the money, and after a few moments the guy in the blue bought her the CD. It was really an amazing gesture, but at the same time I was surprised that the chick in the wheelchair didn’t have $14 bucks.
Boyz II Men preformed a few hits before they commenced signing their new CD “Motown Hitsville USA” Here Wanya Morris greets the women who’s basement he practiced singing and dancing in while growing up in Southwest Philly
Nathan sports some bling
It was funny when this guy walked up with this big poster and a handful of CD’s to get signed. I heard the Boyz II Men handlers say here comes potential trouble. They surrounded him and stood on the side of him in case of trouble. Then when he requested a photo with them, they complied and the manager took the photo. It was the only time the signing process was interrupted for such an event.

I always resort to those street shots, I am a paparazzi at heart, and for those who read my http://www.confessionsofapaparazzi.com/ blog, you know those are the money shots, but these probably won’t bring in any money. Now Paris tomorrow night, that is the money shot! OK Here’s Shawn Stockman making his way to the van that will take the Boyz to NYC
Nathan Morris styles out to the van and
finally Wanya Morris strolls to the waiting van
Waiting outside for the Boyz, well waiting on the corner with a cup, was this enthusiastic (ie liquored up) fan who wanted an autograph for the guys

After much pleading and imploring the manager took the piece of paperand signed it. Then she asked for a quarter.

I didn’t have any change.

You take one awesome diva of soul in a chinchilla fur with a great big smile and a voice that you can hear from here to eternity entertaining the crowd and Richard Gere at the Marian Anderson Awards held at the Kimmel Center last night
and everyone is on their feet grooving, well except the lame duck mayor!! [Insert Comment Here] Patti dedicated a song to Kanye West on the passing of his mother, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”

Sorry if I couldn’t get all of you on here, but if you write me I will see if I can find your shot and send it to you. HughEBush wacking the shit out the Bill of Rights

My choice for winner, I didnt stay long enough to see if it was true

Group winner, Dalmations and Cruella de Ville

Gov. Ed was at the Henri David Ball last night. As he does every year he graciously posed for many pictures, except for a few dicks. Here he is with Amy Winehouse
Another Amy, and behind him blocked by Amy’s friend, a dick waiting in line for his photo.

Ed would turn dick away The devil was fine though
Ed brought his security detail, who would take the photos
sometimes if a photo seemed questionable and could come back to haunt him, Ed had his security detail set up the photo and then be in the photo tooAnother dick came along, Moby Dick

but Ed made her hold it
Ed has lots of fans, and who doesn’t love him (could we abolish term limits)

He posed with criminals
Then Ed posed with the biggest Halloween guy of all, our host, Henri David.

Here’s the poor Dick and his Tess that were left out in the cold by the Governor. Dick was really upset as it was his first time at the Henri David Ball and meeting the Governor. When I explained that Ed had the other dick hold hers under her dress, he finally understood how Ed probably didn’t want photos of him with a dick floating around the internet.
Ed probably wouldn’t pose with these two, but Bush did

Tune in tomorrow for the rest of my Henri David Halloween Shots!!
