A Night Out with Madeleine Albright, In Style.
Albright – Night Out – Images by Robert Caplin
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!)
