Last month I photographed the birthday party of Houston Texans football player Amobi Okoye. The event was held at the Westin Galleria Hotel and featured hundreds of guests.

The beautiful Sanaa Lathan hosted the party and Hip-hop artist Juelz Santana performed live. In addition to the aforementioned, several of his teammates and other athletes and celebrities came to wish Amobi a happy birthday.

I had a great time and Amobi and his friends were refreshingly down-to-earth. Maybe it didn't hurt that we are both of Igbo descent. ;)
