“Celebrities were quick to understand that paparazzi could make icons of them. The more a star is followed and admired, the greater the adulation. So they raised the stakes, sometimes hiding when they don't even need to. Today, stardom is more ephemeral and it's photography that gives them their celebrity status.” NeedsGivingSometimesTodayStarsGreaterPhotographyRaisedHidingStakesIconsEphemeralPaparazziStardomAdulationCelebrity Status Author:Ron Galella
“[My mother] died a few months ago, and when she was dead I kissed her lips. For me it was a beautiful moment.

“What I feel is that the picture-taking process, anyway a greater part of it, is an intuitive thing. You can't go out and logically plan a picture, but when you come back, reason then takes over and verifies or rejects whatever you've done. So that's why I say that reason and intuition are not in conflict-they strengthen each other.” FeelsReasonDoneProcessGreaterPlansConflictPhotographyPhotographerIntuitionRejectsIntuitiveVerifyPicture Taking Author:Wynn Bullock
