Mike Nagy's Take

My Take: The Great Race

Hard News(ish)

So, I have been waiting and waiting to catch something to use for hard news, and have yet to be lucky enough to come across anything. For now I am going to use my experience I had this past summer in LA when I had the experience of a lifetime(to me anyways). There are a lot of pictures because I took 600+ pictures in the span of 30 minutes, it was hard to narrow it down. Very hard. For some reason- myself included- we love celebrities and some of the things they do and have big ceremonies to honor them. It is a type of hard news when a celebrity gets their hand and foot print ceremony at the Chinese Theater in LA. Jackie Chan is the first Asian to ever have this honor(this is actually his second time doing it too) so it was kind of a big deal at the time. I got lucky enough(through smooth talking) to get into the press area and join in the frenzy of the photographers there. It was an amazing experience, especially since Jackie Chan has been an idol of mine since I was five.

What all the commotion was about.

What it looks like in the press area, absolute CHAOS.

Gotta finish it off with a selfie, didn't get a picture with Jackie, sadly.
