SM Aura just opened its doors to the public and it has gained quite a number of following in the past few days. I am still in disbelief that I was right in front of an A lister, a fashion icon, a lovely lady. Yes, I'm talking about Sarah Jessica Parker. Thanks to SM Aura Premier Management and The SM Store who got us first dibs in this event. This is a life changing moment for me and thousands of other celebrities, VIP's and ordinary Filipinos. I'll stop and let you take a look at what happened that evening.
I arrived a bit late because of traffic going to the venue. Everyone was so excited to be in SM Aura Premier and this lady who just happen to be one of my favorite stars in Hollywood is opening the mall. I am not worthy. I already saw her coming in but due to the multitude of press and VIP's trying to get a glimpse of her, I only could see her using this TV screen. A lot were put up around the mall, but I wasn't going to just stand there and shoot the TV screen right? I had to go near so I rushed to the front and tried to get photos while she was roaming around the mall.
You are seeing the crowd in front of the stage where they introduced Sarah Jessica Parker. As you can see, it was really impossible for me to get a shot of her with this in place. Then SJP had to roam around the department store, she was hounded by reporters and onlookers. I had to follow suit and maybe see if I can get a clear one at least.
As you can see I was failing miserably on taking a clear shot. That meant I had to skip and hop with 4 people in front of me. I could only get some shots of her hair. It was funny because I had to chase her in several floors, but alas I never got a clear shot. Then when she was whisked to a private room, I went to the press conference area and secured a seat. I stood my ground there.
