There was a man who went on Facebook looking for a photographer to photograph an event. A friend recommended me and since my friend and this man worked in the same circles and were well acquainted, the man took the recommendation seriously. I get booked. I show up to this last minute gig and immediately love the location, Alto in Montclair, NJ. I always touch base and ask who the VIPs might be so make my clients happy. To my surprise he says, “Make sure you get a bunch of shots of Frankie Fasion and Chad Coleman.”

If you don’t know, they are both from The Wire. Fasion was also the landlord in Coming To America. Chad Coleman played Tyresse in The Walking Dead seasons 3-5. I loved all three so I’ll admit, I was a little star struck when I was on an elevator with both of them.
