To celebrate the spring/summer 2013 Marchesa collection, a lovely and intimate dinner was held at The Darby a few nights ago. I’ll be honest — I don’t usually bring my camera to night time events because: 1) it’s very heavy, 2) my flash photography skills are subpar and 3) I’m still traumatized because a couple of years ago, a random PR assistant mistakenly thought I was a photographer and forcefully asked me to take photos of a celebrity I had no idea about. I made an exception this time because the generous folks at Canon gave me a new toy — the new Canon 5D Mark 3. And boy, I’ll be honest, I’ve never been so excited to use it wherever I go. I’ve been playing around with it like mad… it’s totally different from my trusty 5D Mark 2. Am I glad I brought my camera? Hell yes! I met THE iconic Carolyn Murphy at the sit down dinner. Natalie, Leandra and Jessica Stam were my tablemates. Fun times all around!

Canon has a very exciting project that y’all should get involved in. Visit Project Imagination for more information.
