City Harvest 25th Annual Gala at Cipriani's Midtown on April 24, 2018 in New York City
Over $4 million raised in one evening, through silent auction and live auction. Chef Eric Ripert's dinner for 20 with John Legend and Chrissy Teigen went for an astonishing $1.1 million to two separate bidders. The Food rescue organization hosted another amazing evening at the glamorous Cipriani's in midtown.

It was really great to be back working as a photographer at NYSE for a few days. If the opportunity arose I would be happy to photograph more IPO's on the iconic trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange or the amazing tech studio of Nasdaq. They both provide some really amazing photo opportunities for newly listed companies and being the photographer for a business on such an important milestone is always a pleasure. Since working as the full time photographer at the New York Stock Exchange I've covered many large meetings and events across the globe, but it was still nice to land a few photography jobs close to home in such a familiar setting. If you have an opening bell or closing bell that you'd like photographed and want to have worldwide usage for your pictures, then hiring an outside photographer is your best option. You can see the full gallery for this event here.

Franklin Templeton annual conference at the Essex House Hotel
Back when I photographed a lot more press events, I used to go to the empire state building and cover the lighting ceremony. I never really thought the Minnie Mouse photos were ever going to run and then Minnie gets a makeover! On the left is my photo from Getty Images.

It's been almost exactly 2 years since I left the New York Stock Exchange. It was a nice reminder of that time and a great opportunity to work with one of my favorite clients, City Harvest. And as a bonus I got to say hello to Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, who just happened to be at Nasdaq watching the opening bell.

Today was my last weekend that I'm booked to photograph the New York Botanical Train Show this year. It's always an impressive accomplishment that draws large crowds.
