A Night Out with Kim Kardashian

As I mentioned in my previous post about Madeleine Albright, I’ve shot a few of these “Night Out” columns for the NY times that put a reporter and myself out for an evening chilling with a celebrity-type.

I got the assignment and was told I would be photographing Kim Kardashian….but I wasn’t exactly sure who she was. I’d heard the name on TV a few times…but since I watch all my TV on Hulu, I dont see all the reality TV that on so often. So I googled her and quickly became a little too familiar with her….

Anyhow, I met up with Kim and her sister, Chloe, the reporter and another of their friends at a hip/modern dinner spot called Delicatessen. It was a strange experience for me because I felt like I was with these celebrities who I really had no knowledge of. In fact when we left the restaurant I got scared to death by a paparazzi! Little dude scared the crap out of me! So after dinner we headed to a club called Avenue where we hung out for a spell….and that was pretty much the night….

Take a gander at the article here.

You’ll notice she was on her phone under the table twittering….this was before I really knew what the heck Twitter was….she asked my username and i didn’t even know what it was. (You can see her asking me in the third pic in the slideshow) I guess she was going to tell her fans she was hanging out with me and the reporter….I later looked at her page and saw she has over 2 million followers…dang that would have gotten some eyes on my website.

Guess what my twitter account is? @robertcaplin ….sigh

A Night Out with Madeleine Albright, In Style.

I’ve recently been shooting a few “Night Out” columns for the NY Times, which entails myself and a writer basically chillin’ with a celebrity-type for an evening. The most recent was with former U.S. Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright. Coincidently I was hired earlier in the day to also photograph Ms Albright at a luncheon at Tina Brown’s residence, so I spent the the entire day with her.

For the evening assignment I met up with Ms Albright at the Museum of Arts and Design, where she was attending her opening reception for an exhibit featuring all the pins (brooches) she wore during her diplomatic missions all over the world. It was actually very cool to see how she chose what to wear and the symbolism intended by each pin. To my surprise Barbra Streisand showed up and was given a personal tour of the exhibit by Madeleine It was certainly interesting to hear the stories she shared with Streisand about all her pins.

The reception was followed by dinner at The Plaza Hotel; unfortunately I didn’t get to eat! (P.S. – my girlfriend Laia was part of the team who designed The Plaza’s website! She’s a great web designer….if you’re ever in the market!)
