Paparazzo Feature

The title mislead a little as I was expecting to read something along the lines of someone paparazzing the paparazzo. However, that is not what the feature "The Day I Trailed a Paparazzo" was like. The writer followed around a freelance photographer named Wagner.

The writer and Wagner are the two central characters and you follow them through a day on the trail of celebrity candid or scandalous photos. The feature tries to showcase that there can be a misconception of the view of the paparazzo as assholes who get the shots at any cost.

For me this was not the most intriguing feature as it's not something I care about in any aspect. I don't care what celebrities are doing, nor do I care how an out of work photographer tries to make ends meet.

However, I am in the minority of this subject matter. There are millions of people who do care about this type and would find this article interesting, so they should read it.

I get that paparazzos are people too and not all of them are assholes and that as a society we are obsessed with what celebrities are doing at all times.

Why do people care about celebrities so much? I get it's what we all thrive to be, we want people to care about us. However it's just not my cup of tea, but neither is tea for that matter.
