The Atlantic Monthly has an interesting and long read about the business of shooting celebrities. It's a tale of lawyers, journalists, immigrants and family members who have fallen to the lowest levels in order to make money on celebrities.
No doubt they are proud of them self and their success in terms of numbers. They brag. It's like when the porn stars meet up for their yearly award show, the same proudness of being amongst the best of the lowest.
And they all prefer to conceal their real names in their pursuit of disclosing the every move of celebrities ... which is odd but at least gives you a hint that they know, somewhere down deep, they're not on a path their mom and dad would concur with.
i had a very nice (in a way) time reading that article and distracting myself from all the work at hand. thanks :) it's a topic that can be discussed at length.
read that a couple weeks ago. was very interesting.
i know a couple visual journalists that are doing huge longterm stories on these guys, actually. they really really really don't like having their faces shown these paps.
and 18-44 year old women are to blame for the downfall...
It has been, i confess, long overdue. But i have been procrastinating this simple task of leaving you a comment for weeks. I've been busy and only comment when commented. I do admire your work and your blogs are quite the read. congratulations on a wonderful page. And. xoxoxox :)
I just wanted to say hello and compliment you on your gallery. You've got a really great selection of pictures here, I really like your natural style and your use of light. Lots and lots of interesting stuff to read too! I reckon I'm going to be a regular reader. Take it slow... Mark
Heeeeey... You're another one on here who I see has fanagled a way around (what I thought was the max) of 16 "Top Friends." How'd you manage that one, if you don't mind me asking? Whatever the case, very best of regards to you...CCx

Hello Thorsten. I've been doing a lot of uber-diving, and I must say that yours stands out as one of my top five blogs. It's so diverse and interesting! Keep up the good work! All the best, Stewart
Hi Thorsten, Thanks for the great idea for a blog posting on how a designer comes to dress a star at the Oscars. I will have to write it! Continue to check my blog, I'm going to continue to add great stuff in the next few weeks. xoNick
I found it annoying, the D-Lux 3, that you can't get a good grip at it. That you use the screen as viewfinder is kind of OK. But the light from the screen, as well as the red AF light at night does not make it a stealth camera like a traditional quiet Leica M.
