| ->> Yesterday morning a I get a call from a Swedish tabloid who tell me that a private jet that Tiger and Elin use very often for travel is going to land at my local airport from Sweden. The guy wants me to get a photo of the plane and more importantly the people on the plane if they get off the plane. Using my connections at the airport, I was able to get close to the plane and was able to shoot the passengers as they got off the plane. I haven't been told by the tabloid who the people are or even if they have any connection to Tiger, but local news media made a huge deal of it. Interesting experience........ |

->> Does that make all the newspaper shooters that covered the Jackson funeral Paparazzi covering all the celebrities and the circus that showed up for the funeral here in L.A.?
I think the "Paparazzi" term gets thrown about to easily to brand a photographer that covers any event or sighting that anyone of any celebrity shows up at. I guess every photographer is "Paparazzi" unless you are covering a Crime or "Hard" news event. |

| ->> All my friends call me "Razzi" anyways so no big deal. It's sort of a joke because anytime some tabloid needs a pic of somebody in the area they call me. Not sure why, but I like the challenge. |
