He's a great guy who takes great pictures.

Paparazzi is a plural term (paparazzo being the singular form[1][2]) for photographers who take candid photographs of celebrities, usually by relentlessly shadowing them in their public and private activities. Celebrities claiming to have been hounded by such photographers often use "paparazzi" as a pejorative term[3] while news agencies commonly use the word in a broader sense to describe all photographers who take pictures of people of note.

I was not questioning the personal character of the photographer - nor have I nor has anyone in this thread called him names. He acted like a member of the paparazzi - trying to get the best pic of the French Prez on vacation - he cannot hide behind the AP - not when it comes to taking pics of the bathing suit clad French Prez boating whilst on vacation. Sorry, it doesnt wash with me.

As for you KC - I'll stay out of your cove - if you stay away from mine!
