The New York City Pillow Fight takes place on a cold spring day in April when 10,000 pillow bearing New Yorkers gather at a disclosed location and go wild for two hours in the crisp sunlight. Flash Mobs are some of my favorite events to shoot as they offer a million opportunities to capture people in their most animated; the events are also the most stressful as everyone there is largely not aware they are enjoying themselves around expensive equipment!
