Way back in January when I was at Sundance I photographed an alumni event for NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. They asked me not to put up any images until they put theirs online. They did. So now you get to see them. It was only two hours work and it paid for my plane tickets and I got to eat some pretty amazing food at Robert Redfords’s restaurant. There were some NYU Alumni celebs in attendance like Clark Gregg who directed the film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke, Jason Ritter, actor and son of the late John Ritter, Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck who wrote and directed Half Nelson, and Marley Shelton from Sin City and Grindhouse. I was talking to Marely Shelton for probably 15 minutes before realizing she was a reasonably famous actress. I knew she looked familiar but I couldn’t really place it. I started telling her about shooting celebrities holding products for gifting lounge things and told me how weird it was for her to have to hold the products for pictures. We talked for a long time, defiantly longer than anyone else at the party. She seemed like a rad lady, but I still couldn’t place where I knew her. When I got back to the hotel one of the girls working working with me at the gifting lounge told me who she was. Neat. Anyway, other than a few famous faces, these photos are pretty uneventful.
