My Close Encounter with Jim Carrey
A few Saturdays ago in the course of photographing a family in the States, I got to meet, hang out with, and photograph the inimitable Jim Carrey. The images are private so you’ll never see them. I can tell you however how much I enjoyed the man. In my experience Jim Carrey was gracious, candid, totally fun, and fabulous with kids. Check out his official website at http://www.jimcarrey.com/
