Gavin Rossdale Noticing Amazing Fine Art
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 was walking on Wilshire Blvd and I passed by the restaurant. I noticed that he was inside eating alone and reading his book, so I had time. I went further down the street since I needed a straight shot of him looking directly into my lens. So I waited…. and I waited. I looked around and not paps inside… I was doing good.
Eventually, after answering a few phone calls, Gavin came out. I prepared myself and when he noticed me, he just smiled. After a few photos, I just put my lens down and I said to him, ‘have a great day.’ Yes… There is more to the story so wait until the next page to see the beautiful gallery of 23 images and to continue with the story, Click to
Well, he was walking and I was curious to see how far he walked. So I decided to follow him. I literally waited and waited until he was pretty far away that I could just see him. I wanted to give him all the space he deserves. He walked up on North Beverly Drive and he walked all the way passed the trendiest restaurants. The funny thing was that that street is full of paparazzi. Gavin actually walked passed two paparazzi that were literally next to him, but did not notice him. I am shocked at the people working this industry.
Well to make this long story short… He walked passed this gallery and he just could not believe his eyes. He looked and looked. I think that he fell in love with a piece of art that was hanging on the wall of this gallery. He walked into the gallery and eventually came out with an assistant to talk about the artwork. I must admit, it was really good.
Well, he eventually walked out and continued on walking. He was now on Little Santa Monica Blvd heading westbound. He was heading into the Paparazzi den on North Bedford Drive. As he started to head into the den, I could see all the paparazzi waiting down the street. There were about 10 photographers just standing around looking around and I was afraid that Gavin was going to head right in there. To my surprise, Gavin made a quick entrance into a parking structure and disappeared. I was so revealed.
