cmon.... tell us what the other photographer was using. It should go something like this...
"oh man, and get this guys, he was shooting with a freakin rebel! Can you
believe it? And a kit lens?!?!?! I was like laughing my pants off. Then I
remembered that he was the one that got hired to shoot thirty incredibly
good looking girls...and I slumped my shoulders, and wondered to the
nearest alley to cry"
The photogs equipment:
Canon 1Ds-MII
Canon 24-105
Large softbox with a some type of monohead controlled by a Pocket Wizard.
Manfrotto tripod with a Manfrotto 322RC2 joystick head
The camera plate he was using allowed the camera to rotate 90 degrees on a system of criss-cross arms. I have never seen it before
I was standing immediately to the photogs left. The softbox was about 5 feet to the photogs right. There were two assistants, a choreographer/director, and the manager of the squad. There were 4 policemen and Bourbon street was shut down. There were about 5 "security" people trying their best to control the crowd of rather rowdy men, and the well behaved women, that gathered.
Everybody and their mother pulled out their phones and started snapping. I had further lucked out by arriving on the scene just as the photog was setting up and before the girls arrived. Front row never hurts.
As for the one girl that appears to be looking at me. There were at least 100 people standing directly behind me...all with their phones out. I would be honored if she was looking at me, but it is doubtful.
