First Day of Portland Fashion Week

Last night was the first night of Portland Fashion Week and my friend Tony Dimitri was showing his collection along with six other designers.  I was excited to go and support my friend and see his new collection. He has been very secretive about it, so this was the first time I had the chance to see any of the new designs.  This was also the first showing of his designs for women.  Needless to say, they were spectacular.  I was joined by a mob of other photographers at the show, which included Quavondo and Ben who were working together, OSI's group, and several others. 


The show started late, because the photographer that PFW had hired to cover the shoot had his flight delayed.  One of his other photographers was there already but only had their "backstage" camera.  I loaned her my 70-200 lens for the first two designers and used my 85mm prime.  When Tony was up I had my 70-200 back as the other photographer had made it to the show with their stuff.  Hopefully they got some great shots using my lens. 
All in all the show was a lot of fun and I was able to meet a lot of great people.  I am looking forward to the show tonight.
