Last week I was honored to attend a NYC media event to announce the second wave of the Pampers/UNICEF “1 Pack = 1 Vaccine” campaign; an event headlined by the lovely Salma Hayek (you can read about the press conference at Boston Mamas).

Ironically, with my slim little digital camera I still wanted to go flash-free. Here are some of the photos I got at the press conference, from my fabulous front row seat:
