Someone has to go on the exotic weekend ski trips.  Someone has to go to the galas.  Someone has to attend the fashion shows.  And that person is me!

No, I am totally kidding.  So I attended the Boston Wedding Gala, not exactly New York Fashion Week, but probably a ton more fun.  I took a bunch of people who were totally not in any way getting married any time soon to eat free cake and to wear fake mustaches.  And with that winning formula, who can go wrong??  Well, we had a lot of fun.

The culmination of the gala was a fashion show.  Those two words — fashion show.  I mean they just conjure up so many great images, don’t they??  Fashion and a show??  You can’t possibly go wrong.  In the past, my fantasy was to walk the runway at the fashion show, but now it is of course to photograph the fashion show.  I imagine myself sitting next to Grace Coddington at Paris Fashion Week.

Well, the fashion show was fun and glamorous and all the rest of it.  On a technical note, I used my giant Sunpack magnesium flare flash.  Just kidding, but it is a giant flash that emits much light.  It will be pretty obvious which shots I used it with and which not:
