OK I am a Paparazzi !!

Last week I was talking to my friend Margarita, who owns a NYC based photography agency, http://www.photoimagepress.com, who said HughE you are a paparazzi, after I referred to myself as a photographer and I don't jump out of bushes for my shots. "Accept it, you are a paparrazzi!" I of course was like, what are you talking about, I take photos of celebrities, usually at events, and when possible I ask them, I am not a paparazzi, just a photographer/fan of celebrities. "Doesn't matter", Margarita said. "Look up the definition. " Paparazzi is a plural term for photographers who take candid photographs of celebrities, usually by relentlessly shadowing them in public and private activities." Damn her, I was so happy to be in denial, and then a few days later I shot this picture of Jerry Seinfeld and family leaving the Charlotte's Web premiere, and it dawned on me, holy mackerel she's right!! but c'mon, if I wasn't a paparazzi we would have missed this cute shot of Jerry holding his daughters pink pocketbook.
