Character Project

Last night I shot the red carpet arrivals at the "Public Gallery Exhibition of American Character: A Photographic Journey" at the Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills. USA Networks and Vanity Fair sponsored the event hosted by Ludacris. See below for a few of my shots from the evening.

Good day. Here are a few shots:
