I was up late last night taking shots of Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner and their guests as they celebrated Brody’s birthday at Privilege last night; I didn’t get to sleep until 6 AM. My Pap Alert goes off around 12:00 PM. I get a tip that Kate del Castillo was having lunch at one of the local eateries. I quickly get up and I put on my dirty clothes from last night and I get my gear. I’m half asleep and dirty as I head to see if I can get a few shots. Unfortunately, I didn’t get there in time. :( But it wasn’t long before I found Keanu Reeves and this mystery blonde heading into Orso.

I only got a few shots and it was time for me to wait. I went into hiding mode and I placed all the shades up in my car to camouflage me. Since I was on the main route I noticed these paps that had spotted my car and wondered what I was doing. They circled the street about three times before they parked nearby. One of them gets out of his car and starts looking around the Orso parking lot to see if he can identify what I was working on. I was getting jumped.

I called The Ninja to come help me out. By the time The Ninja arrived, the jumpers had already called three other friends. I had no choice but to go commando. There was a staircase that was blocked off by a plant. The stairs led to the second floor of the restaurant. I went to the plant and ran upstairs. I was able to knock off a few shots of the new couple having lunch together. The Manager of Orso comes out and asks me not to do that. I said ok and went back into my car.

I asked The Ninja if he wanted to get a few shots of the new couple eating and I told him about the stairs. The Ninja was a little more stealth than I was. He didn’t get caught. :) Well, I guess that is why he is called The Ninja.

By now, we had gotten a good set. All we needed to complete the set was a couple shots of them walking out. I had a great parking spot across the street from the restaurant, so The Ninja and I decide to wait inside my car. We were sure that we had much better pictures than our amateur-jumper competition.

The two soon came out and we came out of my car. We ran across the street and we started hosing them. We needed to get better shots than our competition. Keanu was cool with us. He never covered his face, even though it was a little flush.
