Hey Guys,

I was sent an email by a freelance producer for Current TV looking for a shooter to follow around for a segment.

If you're interested, send me an email an i'll forward his info to you.

Here's the email:


Hello my name is Andrew Watson and i'm a Senior year FMA student at Temple University in Philadelphia. In addition, i'm also a freelance producer for Current TV (www.current.tv - the short form non fiction network that Al Gore owns part of). I produce short (5 to 7 minute) pieces for their national broadcast. I have covered a wide range of topics for Current TV from the punk rock scene in Philadelphia, to ultra conservative religious youth groups.

The reason i am emailing you is because i'm exploring the idea of producing a short piece about the paparazzi. I'm hoping to follow a NYC paparazzo for a day to get some insight into the profession. Since its a short piece, it would more so focus on the history of the paparazzi and how the job works, and not as much on the controversy surrounding the job. In addition to following a paparazzo around for the day, i have also scheduled an interview with Peter Howe, author of Paparazzi, in order to get some insight into the history of the job.

Here is my question for you. Would you know any NYC paparazzi that you could put me in contact with that might be willing to help out? Any information would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Andrew Watson
