Ottawa Fashion Week???

Some people just try to hard to fit in and end up looking like a sore thumb. If Ottawa Fashion Week were a person... well lets just say they would look like that loser kid in grade 9 that came from some far off country that you never knew was a real place. 

I cant say that I've been to many fashion shows but it was really easy to tell this was not going to be that great. When you hear the models trash talking their own fashion week... thats gotta tell you something. 

No matter how bad the actual event was, it seemed that there was always a picture to be taken and a creative look where ever i went. We were given full access to the change rooms ( ooh yeah) where many pictures of models preparing for the run way were found. There was a lot of models getting make up and hair done witch made for fun photos. Some funny pictures were of models spraying their feet with hair spray but the best would have to be of a model playing on her PSP while waiting for the next run way walk to start. 

Once things got started, most of the photographers quickly found out that the layout of the cat walk was not done well. Us photographers were placed in an area were our lens would face a white background and have a black side wall that just drained all the light from the pictures.We had to move. We now were situated at the side of the cat walk, leading to a lot of walking motion pictures. This meant that we could not capture the picture of the model posing for the camera any more. 

When I came back to the paper, I was not sure what my Editor-in- Chief was going to say about my pictures. Mind you, Elise likes everything and anything so I shouldn't have worried that much. She loved then and now its going to be on the cover of the paper so I guess they turned out good.
