It was turning out to be another one of those slow days today and yesterday I missed the opportunity to shoot a z-lister because I didn’t want to make a U-turn. I found that z-lister again today and I need to follow my own rules, that following one leads to a better one. Well, that is exactly what happened.

I was running errands today and I had to go to the bank to change the address on one of my accounts. After that long ordeal, I went to the Beverly Hills post office to mail off some pending taxes. Well, this led me to my first spot which was a beyond z-lister, Shauna Sand. She was driving the opposite direction on a little street with no name. I quickly made a u-turn and noticed an experienced paparazzo that I know hanging out close to a salon where celebs typically go to. He would never follow Shauna Sand, but I had to. I, after all, have rules that I follow. One z-lister will lead you to a better one.

It didn’t take me long after my u-turn to see that Shauna was driving into the Beverly Hills Mecedez-Benz service center. She takes her time to get out of the car and gives me plenty of time to find the right position. She comes out and I take my shots. I didn’t take too many shots since, she is probably not going to sell. I was just following my rules. I had to do it.

Soon, I made another u-turn to drive up to that salon where I noticed my competitor. He was still parked in the same location. I was not at the ‘T’-intersection and I made a right turn in front of him, but I do not think that he noticed me. I looked to the parking area and I see this lady in the distance trying to figure out how to feed the parking meter with coins. She looked a bit clueless from my perspective. I wanted to get a closer look. As I got closer, I realized that it was Alicia Silverstone and my excitement level went from z-lister to d-lister so I was definitely happy. I made a u-turn into a parking space and positioned myself as if I was about to back out of the space to prepare for a shot of her crossing the street to that salon.

After she figured out the meter, sure enough, she heads for the street. As she was about to cross it, I was already firing away. She eventually noticed me and turned around. This is when that other paparazzo noticed what I was shooting and he accelerated his car towards the action. He crossed that ‘T’-intersection and he was getting closer. Alicia actually got scared of the rushing car and decided to run across the street and into the salon. It worked in my favor because that other paparazzo couldn’t get any shots. We both took off after that. After all, I had things to do and people to see. Also, I know that she was going to be inside for exactly two hours and twenty one minutes since that is how much time she placed on the three hour meter.

Two hours and ten minutes later, I returned. Her car was still there and I hadn’t found anyone else. All my routes where shut down with no celebrities. They probably are all at the Comic-Con event down in San Diego. I found parking a few cars down from hers with a perfect angle for my shots when she comes out. Ten minutes passed and then I realized that she wasn’t clueless at all. I was the clueless one. She perfectly calculated the time on the meter left until 6:00 pm, which is the time that no meter is enforced on that street.

All I could think in my head was ‘Great’! She could be inside there for a few more hours. Soon after thinking that, Jennifer Coolidge, Stifler’s Mom, comes out for a smoke. This entertained me for about thirty minutes until she left. I don’t know why I was waiting for Alicia since I already had the shots of her going inside, but something was telling me to wait and see the final results of hours inside the salon.

She finally comes out and I take my shots. She looked the same. Except that her hair was puffier. Sorry, I am a guy.

I was about to go home that day.  I was running errand all over Beverly Hills and I was feeling a bit tired.  I had a very important business lunch with my business partner.  We were as usual having a discussion of the global domination plans for BuzzFoto.  I usually backtrack when I head home using mayor transition streets to place myself if locations highly traveled by celebrities…  Let’s just say that I wanted to find someone before I actually made it home.  Then there it was… Patrick Dempsey’s black and orange Porsche.  It was parked in front of the L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Well, I wasn’t one hundred percent certain that it was his because I have never seen him drive it in real life. I’ve only seen it in our competitors websites when they display a video of Patrick driving away. You know… You have seen those videos too… 

I was heading eastbound and I made a U-turn at the nearest intersection.  I found parking right away and I started to wait. And Wait… And Wait… Nothing… By this time too much time had passes and the valet decided to drive his car into the underground parking and so I lost visual on the car, but I continued to wait. And Wait… And Wait… Nothing…

After two sold hours of waiting,

I was doing my route and usually one day after a major holiday, it is hard to find celebrities, probably because they are all hung over from all the partying that they did the night before. Well, it is kinda hard and so I had no hopes of really finding anyone. But then my spidey senses start to tingle. I was making my way towards Rodeo Drive via an alleyway between the UTA Agency and a parking structure… He was right there in front of me, SpiderMan in the flesh. I got ready and before his Spidey senses went off to tell him that I was around… I had him dead locked and centered, down the barrel of my canon.

He was still smiling by the time he realized that I had a few frames under my belt. Then all of a sudden, like his BFF Leonardo DiCarpio would do, his smile disappears and he quickly turns around.

All he did after that is to continue to chat the girls and then …

I was doing my normal route in Beverly Hills. I was driving eastbound on Whilshire Blvd and I was about to make a left on Canon Drive and all of a sudden I noticed Gavin Rossdale walking down the street with no paparazzi in sight.

After all, he is one person that consistently has those strange and unethical paparazzi working on him and Gwen. I was truly amazed as I was looking at Gavin walking down the street enjoying the warm weather. I gave him plenty of distance and I don’t even think that he noticed me since I was shooting with my Sigma 300mm f2.8 lens. For those of you that don’t know what that l am saying, including some of you that are playing being a paparazzo, let me put it in other terms, I was so far away that he could enjoy his walk without being disturbed.

When I initially found him, I noticed that he was carrying a book titled, ‘Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey’ by Jane Goodall. Do you know what that book is about? It sounds very enlightening! Well, I was still on the other side of the street ready to make a left turn. The traffic lightened up and I decided to carry on straight since I had a feeling that he was also heading that same direction. For some reason, my senses where telling me that he was going to go into that restaurant that was just outside the paparazzi traveled grid. I hence knew that I could take my time and hence give him more distance.

And like magic, Gavin stepped into the restaurant for some private time with his book and possibly a good meal. I eventually made a left turn on North Crescent Drive and I found parking on a meter. I put the full hour in quarters and I prepared myself with the long lens… Yes… My Sigma 300mm f2.8 lens. I placed it into my camera bag and off I went. I was walking down the street and I was about to pass the restaurant to make sure that he was still inside. So, to enjoy a beautiful gallery of 23 images and to continue with the story, Click to

I got this shot from my front window! Yup! The front window is what created the painted look on the picture! My front window was completely reflecting the sun and I think that it was dirty also. Thank goodness for that, since the picture is being reviewed and will probably now sell as an iconic shot! You don’t believe me, watch!

Jessica Simpson, Last Month, went to the gym. I was following John Mayer and he was actually on his way to the gym himself. But when he noticed all the paparazzi standing there with their cameras exposed as they waited for Jessica Simpson to come out, he said, ‘Screw that!’ He left and I stayed waiting for Jessica.

Tammin Sursok went shopping with her mom and dad! Actually, I have a confession to make! I didn’t know who she was, so I had someone ask her name for me.

She gladly wrote her name down on a piece of paper!
