Out of Sight Media - A Day in the Life of the Paparazzi!

Today I went to check out Pearl Harbor because I found out that Cameron Diaz was already in LA. She probably left because the winds are too strong, making it impossible for some to surf. The weather here is extremely windy that it feels like a hurricane to me (although, I have never been in a hurricane).

I decided then to go to the local tourist destination and see it for myself. I have never been to Pearl Harbor until today. It was amazing. There was so much history behind the attack on Pearl Harbor that my girl and myself spent a few hours going through the museum.

There was a model replica of the ship underwater, which I felt the need to hose down since there are no celebs here to hose down. By the way, if you know of any celebs here other than Evangeline Lily and Dominic Monaghan, then please let me know. Actually, please give me information on how to find them also.

Did you know that there was a suicide torpedo piloted by a man? Yup! The crazy dude would get in the torpedo and he would have full control of the steering. He would decide which part of the ship he was going to end up in! That is crazy!

Well, going back to Pearl Harbor! It was amazing seeing the ship! What a feeling. I think I went through a few emotions of anger, sadness, and amazement!

So here I am in Hawaii working away, getting familiar with this “awful” looking place in search for a few celebs. I mean, the weather is very windy and the temperature is an exhausting 75 degrees. It can’t get any worse. Just to describe how awful it is here, I have taken a few pictures of this darn place…

I can’t believe I have to work here. I really don’t recommend it for the faint of heart.

I wanted to check out the big wave surfing contest (Monster Energy Pipeline Pro, presented by Billabong) that was going to happen, but I guess because of this awful weather, they postponed it a few days. I am hoping that the weather does improve…

Can you all tell that I am having a bad time here…? Yup! It is just awful. Hehe

Ok! I have to go… My girl wants me to have another drink. Hopefully tomorrow I will find someone to hose.

It was getting late on Friday. After photographing Phoebe Price at the Ivy and earlier that day getting Michelle Rodriguez I was very satisfied with my day. After all, I had my daily allowance of spots by then. I was driving on Sunset Blvd heading eastbound. I was going to go get some coffee so that I could reflect on my day.

I was almost there when all of a sudden I spotted this chick walking her dog who had a resemblance to a celeb. I almost didn’t think anything of it since she was walking on Sunset Blvd. I don’t know any celeb out there that walks their dog on Sunset Blvd, one of the most heavily traveled paparazzi routes, unless they are really desperate for attention.

Well, I made a U-turn to take a closer look. Yup! I was right, it was Famke Janssen walking this little dog. I don’t know what she was thinking. It was actually a little hard to shoot her old school because of all the traffic. So I got my long lens and from across the street I started to light her up. She didn’t notice me because I was kinda far away. She turned back and started to head the other direction. She was now heading towards the Chateau Marmont.

I am going to make this story short cause I am tired and I am on vacation. I was lighting her up and she finally saw me. She started to cover her face. Well, luckily for me, I also had my short lens in my camera bag that I was carrying while on foot. So I whipped it out and I started to hose her. She was really pissed. She said to me, “Why don’t you go photograph someone that wants to be photographed, like the Olsen Twins?” If only she knew that the Olsen Twins really don’t like to be photographed. Then she says to me, “I just want my privacy.” PLEASE!!! You are walking on Sunset Blvd with your freaking dog! It is almost like going to the Ivy and not wanting your picture taken.

She was being a spoiled little B#$%H. I actually did not feel sorry for her. She turned around so that I couldn’t get a shot of her face. She actually was there waiting for me to leave. I told her, “let me get a good shot of you and I will leave. You can then carry on with your dog walking.” She got more upset.

I then told her, “Look, I can’t leave until I get a shot of you.” Pissed of she turns around and starts walking towards me. I get a few shots and off she went. If only she would have complied earlier, it would have been done with.

After hosing down Michelle Rodriguez, I headed off to the Ivy Restaurant. I heard that some dude from American Idol was going to be there. It was a very reliable tip so that is where I went. I actually forgot his name since later on in the day I found out that he was actually not really important after all since he was just a contestant and not a previous winner. He is not famous yet!

Well, when I got there, I spotted Phoebe Price just out side the Ivy trying to get the attention of the photographers. I was still in my car but I quickly found parking on a loading zone. I got my camera and I directly walked to Phoebe and I asked her for a picture. There were so many paparazzi just standing around. I don’t think that they even wanted to photograph her. Well, she always sells for worst dressed, but that day, she was actually looking quite lovely.

Well, after she modeled for me and gave me plenty of shots; I guess all the other paparazzi decided to hose her down. This is when I realized that these new guys didn’t even know who she was. Well, it was just Phoebe.

She has always been a good sport with the paparazzi. I actually wonder what she has done lately. I don’t remember ever seeing her in any movie. Do you guys know what kind of work she has done?
