I'm still trying to process everything that happened last night. It was really all so amazing a little bit like a dream, being right in the middle of Times Square for the whole evening in way below freezing temperatures with one of my favorite celebrities, Steve Harvey and covering the celebrity wedding of Maria Menounos. Here are a few quick selected photos from the evening.

The final morning of the Equilar Executive Compensation Summit at the Swissotel in Chicago. It's always nice to travel and photograph a conference in a new city.

The Chihuly show at the New York Botanical Gardens is well worth seeing at night, and last night they hosted an evening of Opera with Glimerglass so after the performance I took a stroll through the new exhibit.

City Harvest are just good people, my favorite client and an organization I'm proud to work for. Last night was their big spring party at Cipriani's in midtown New York City.

Sunday April 9 is the last day of The Orchid Show: Thailand at the New York Botanical Gardens and I would highly recommend grabbing your camera and heading to the Bronx.

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.
