Photographed Tina Fey yesterday… Such a sweet person… Really much prettier and younger then her alter ego, Liz Lemon, but same type of personality. Shy, smart and Focused…
We were in a Harlem Day Care Center for Books for Kids (http://www.booksforkids.org/) She was speaking at the dedication of a library she donated…. She actually financed 6 in Harlem and other boroughs…
Yeah Tina!!!!
Shy, Smart, Focused and Generous!
She was funny when she spoke she said how important books and reading were for boys and girls and maybe they would grow up and be writers …. comedy writers, especially the girls because she said we need more girl writers… Then she paused, looked at the kids and said maybe one of you girls will be a future comedy writer…
In Harlem, no one knew who she was, don’t think they watch 30 Rock… When she sat down to read to the kids, she introduced herself and looked at one of the little boys (about 4 years old maybe younger) that was a bit disruptive and said what’s your name… His answer was ” I’m da man” and then another little boy chimed in “No I’m da Man” … She dropped the introduction and just started reading!
Wish I could have whisked her a way and done a portrait sitting with her, instead I was just the hired paparazzi (actually, I donated my time), there to just document the moment for a great organization!
Turned my ISO high so my flash wouldn’t disrupt the moment and just shot.
