Fame and fortune and the price we have to pay for it.
If you are a female, famous and add to the qualifications above average graced with beauty, you have suddenly become the target of the paparazzi. These are the lowlifes of society that have no regard for anyone and would sell their mothers for a used cigarette butt, they waffle about in their cesspool little worlds of septic stench and taint all they come into contact with.
The sad truth is that if these festering boils of humanity had no market for their cowardly invasions of peoples privacy, they would become instinct and would hopefully cease to be and die a painful cold disease infected death.
So are they entirely to blame? No.
The publications that flaunt their wares like prostitutes invading your dining room during Sunday family lunch are as guilty for providing a livelihood for our blood sucking spineless leeches, they in turn are fed by the millions of readers who buy their filth and crave for any semi-disclosed glimpes of a breast or bottom.
The solution? I dont think we have one.
We live in a world were electronic data is processed and distributed quicker than the Kardashians can outswear an entire trrop of marines on leave after 2 years combat.
Once the damage is done, it has very little chance of being removed from the minds of those who believe it as gospel truth.
Nite all
I believe there is a place in this world for photographers who bring us photos and stories from all over the world. Obviously there will always be those who will bring the profession into disrepute but mostly educated people know to take a lot of what the gutter press prints with a large pinch of salt. Famous and well known people should be educated by their very well paid publicity people on what to do, where to go, how to look and how to act. Sometimes 'celebrities' go out of their way to be caught in compromising situations that ordinary people wouldnt be caught dead doing... And there is always a photographer with sophisticated equipment waiting to catch that moment. It important to adapt to the situation or lifestyle that you are currently in to have the best chance of surviving with reputation or life intact.
