Playing Paparazzo Outside the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Tent at Bryant Park

Since 1993,  the big white tent in BRYANT PARK has been the home of New York FASHION WEEK. A prolonged dispute between the designers and the park management, however, makes the ongoing event (Fall 2010 Collections) the last Fashion Week show in Bryant Park. In the fall, Fashion Week will move to Lincoln Center. Yesterday, I joined the other photographers, professionals, photo enthusiasts and tourists alike in snapping photos outside the tent. For most people who were outside, fashion probably doesn't matter. Being excited to see celebrities and fashion models (even though we don't know their names), and being bemused by the outfits were enough reasons to drop by and play paparazzo.
