Every Photo Has a Story…
… and this one doubly so.
I met Heather and Jordan for a very late-night engagement shoot at the swanky hotel where they got engaged. Unfortunately the floor they got engaged on was under construction, but I said "Hey, these elevators are pretty cool." I usually try not to inconvenience anyone, but since the hotel was quiet at this time of night and there were two other elevators sitting unused, I hit all the buttons on the way down so we'd have time to set up a shot.
To get the ceiling lights and to not be in the reflection, I was crouched low to the right of the door, impossible to see until you came in. So we stopped at one of the floors and a guy walks in. "Woah, paparazzi!" he says. This is a pretty common joke people make when they see my giant camera, so I don't think much of it. Then I look up at the guy to apologize.
It's Dave Chappelle. And he thought I realliy was there for him. So he got doubly confused when I just kind of shrugged, apologized for hitting all the buttons, and went back to shooting Heather and Jordan.
"Man, I don't need this…" he said, and got off at the next floor. He wasn't really mad, but I think anyone would say that when they see two people making out on an elevator with a photographer and all of the buttons lit up.
Sorry, Dave.
P.S.: Dave has been working out. The guy was RIPPED.
