Teenage Paparazzo. Brilliant.

->> Just saw this HBO doc that Entourage's Adrian Grenier did about a 14 year old paparazzo in Los Angeles. Fascinating. Well worth seeing if you get the chance.

Was a great little documentary. Ashame he's wasting his talent. Did anyone see his other work he was showing?

->> I watched it late last night on demand. Interesting deal. I remember photographing Lance Armstrong during his Ride for the Roses in Austin. I was the extra shooter for his official photographer. I watched in awe that during the dinner no less than 50 people stood around with their phones and point and shoot cameras just to grab a photo of him eating with the Discovery Channel riders. I can't imagine a lifestyle where you can't hardly go outside without that sort of madness.

I enjoyed seeing the behind the scenes portions in NYC with the magazines who buy those images as well.

It would appear that the kid has been a bit spoiled by his mother.

What bothered me was seeing him say that John Filo's Pulitzer Prize winning photo shot at Kent State was boring...

->> Do those magazines really pay $500 to $1,000 per image like they said in the film?

If so why aren't we all in that business? (He asked, only half joking.)
