Gong Li wants me

My friend interviewed Gong Li when she was in New York doing publicity for "Curse of the Golden Flower". She asked me to be her photographer. Working with limited equipment and lighting and skill, this is what I came up with. Gong Li, of course, recognized upon seeing me that I was more of a swordsman than a photographer and invited me to prove my skill. I'm not one to kiss and tell but let's just say my friend left without me whereupon I did much to reduce our trade deficit with China, if you will.

Here she is goofing off with me after the interview. Can you see the passion for me in her eyes? It was quite powerful.
