Big Day Today!
It all started with Dustin Hoffman and his daughter, Ali Hoffman. I found them as I was cruising by Toast Cafe in West Hollywood. They just finished having lunch. Darn! I missed the good eating, stuffing food down the mouth shots. So, I started to follow Dustin who was on the driver’s side. He really didn’t have a clue where he was going. We circled the city a few times before he stopped at this clothing boutique called Scout in Los Angeles, CA.
After they were done shopping, they decided to go see a movie at The Grove in West Hollywood. Well, they where less than a block away and they didn’t have a clue where it was located. They started to walk towards Fairfax Blvd. on Third St hoping to find The Grove. Well, at least they where headed in the right direction. After a while of chasing them, they decide to backtrack. When they did that, I was uncovered; they saw me. That is when Dustin finally realized that he was being PAP’ed. He approaches me and asks, ‘Do you know where The Grove is’ I responded, ‘You are standing on it.’ They where a little confused. So, I put down my camera and gave them a grand tour of The Grove. They wanted to go see a movie, so I took them to The Grove’s theater. They were in such a good mood that they gave me a couple of posed shots together. One warning he gave me, ‘Spell my daughter’s name correctly, her name is Ali, with an ‘A’. I guess all the tabloids are getting it all wrong.
Soon thereafter, I get the call from another Pap friend of mine, Jonathan (www.inhousephoto.com). We usually work together on jobs. He was shooting Gwen Stefani and cute little baby Kingston. I couldn’t make it there to the shoot since I was on hot pursuit of this other actor. Unfortunately for him, he got away.
Well, we where off to find more fish. As soon as I was on the route, I spotted Meg Ryan’s car. Jonathan and I waited there close to three hours before she came out. What the hell was Meg Ryan doing?!? She supposedly was getting a facial at the health spa in West Hollywood. But for three hours?!?
Since we were done for the day and happened to be close to Halle’s house, we stopped to view our catch for the day. We were turning on the computer to swap out images and all of a sudden, I see this car pulling into Halle’s driveway. Soon after that, I spotted Halle sneaking into the passenger side of that car. The chase is on again! Tired and dehydrated, we were off after her. She ended up going to this hotel on Burton Way. Can you guess which Hotel she went into?
Ok, It was night time, at home, and I was working on editing all these images. All of a sudden I get the PAP Alarm that Linsay Lohan was eating with Harry Morton at the Ivy. I run to my car and get there using all the shortcuts that I know. Time to wait for her to come out. Soon, on a corner table I spotted Keanu Reeves having lunch with a chick. I think it is his sister?! However, on the caption I am going to call her an ‘unidentified female companion.’ That will make it juicy! 
Keanu decides to leave through the back of the restaurant, but I hosed him anyway.
All that happened today! What a day in the life of two Paparazzos.
Well, I hope tomorrow I can wake up for work. It is about 5:39 AM and I am still updating the images. I need to get to bed!!
Well, until the next post!
Cheers,
