Celebrity Fight Night with Muhammad Ali, Halle Berry, American Idol cast.
Halle Berry
I had an amazing opportunity to be part of the photography team that covered Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight Night last weekend in Scottsdale, AZ. I found that I was working so hard I didn’t have time to be star struck. Although it goes without saying, Halle Berry is drop dead gorgeous. Being an American Idol fan, it was fun to see the current cast and hear them sing. Their security team reminds me of a Presidental detail – these guys are crazy BIG! I was assigned to photograph the sponsor room and the VIP guests with celebrities which included Kevin Costner, Billy Crystal, Bo Derek, Larry Fitzgerald, Tom Chambers, Verne Troyer (Mini-Me), Bret Michaels, just to name a few. One of the highlights of the evening was when record producer, David Foster introduced 10 year old singing sensation Jackie Evancho. This kid can sing like no 10 year old I’ve ever heard! Check her out (www.jackieevancho.com). Photographing MatchBox Twenty was a favorite of mine that evening, for sure! I was practically right on stage with them as they rocked the house. So cool! At the end of the evening, millions were raised for Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. The night ended when American Idol star, Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire invited all the ladies in the room on stage to sing a Kelly favorite. It was truly a night to be remembered.

The picture of Reba is really good! You should try to send that to her publicist. I expected more shots. Are you limited on what you can put on this site? Will there be more later?
I have so many hard to decide, no limits really just time consuming
The image of Kevin Costner is my fav, then Jordin Sparks. I also love the two shots of the Matchbox 20 guys. Great images and looks like a fun night!
Matchbox 20 was the best they rocked the house and had all the women dancing! The best part was hanging out with them after event, so cool!
