There are members here that know me outside of PM can vouch for this.
I am all over the internet, easy to find.
I have spent the better part of the last 20 years of my life as a stills photographer
in the motion picture and TV business thus an extraordinary amount of time
with “celebrities” both on and off set. (At the end of September I spent every day
for a week with a very famous actor outside of his professional environment,
you all would recognize him. Very nice and modest, went to great lengths to
remain anonymous, and he so as near as I could tell.)
I have never had a bad experience with anyone, from world famous Oscar winning
actors, celebrities behind and in front of the camera, writers and directors, up and
comers who went on to become huge stars. And more. (Even photographed the
Kardashian Sisters for Good Morning America to name drop. Notorious from being
'difficult' were nice as pie to me even when I had to direct them.) Many of my
phots have been used in international publications, have probably seen my
photos and did not know it.
And I could tell you stories that would make you laugh, cry and puke. And some
you would not believe. But in all cases they were behaving like human being subject
to the same faults, weakness's and strengths, truths and lies, like and dislikes,
capable of making both good and bad decisions, some regrettable, some not and
some that should be.
Not defending or applauding. Just perhaps some added perspective.
What is the old saying about casting the first stone . . .
