Yet nobody's scrutinised the other end of the creature that's causing these recent 'friction' - the trashy mag editors and their customers with increasing demand for consumption of those shots that command the $50k prices mentioned that drives more individuals to become more desperate and take more bold steps.

I'm confused.

I've been told I am a pest, but I don't see any $50K ...

there are two kinds of paparazzi, those who get invited to events to shoot the stars which they are expected to, and the other wannabees

Chi remember you met Tito Antonio at an event last year, now he is paid to take pictures of celebs and the celebs want their picture taken at these events

it's just the intrusive ones that give the real guys a bad name, i.e those who would take a picture of a star chowing down a burger, now what merit could that have?
