Holy Schmoly. Stuff happens.
After work yesterday n Sunday I wald back from I Hop where I stashed the van and visited the Chinese Theatre for those random photos I take of tourists. Usually I focus on exotic pretties posing in summer attire positioning themselves by the hand prints and footprints. Spotted Jaime still peddling tours way past six p.m. Last wekedn of summer and still going strong!
Then I spotted a slew of really unusual looking Asian-malato women dressed for the prom. Very striking. Someone posed them by the dragon dogs so I hitched onto the shot for my own.
I caught Jaime's ear as he had noticed the babe lineup. "Smorgasbord", he observed.
Within moments he was enveloped by the beauties. I shot some more. I ran into Richard the Sapir. He asked if I shot these babes. Sure. I replied. He commented. The girls think "it's freaky." I was shocked by his comment. Embarrassed and awkward
as I seek his regard of me. Gosh, yea I guess my aggressive paparazzi shooting can be offensive to some but that the risk I take in my creative force majeure. I do not ask permission or seek approval to d my shooting. Guess that leads to psychic conflict. It's a numbers game. Rate of documentarian is 10 to 1 so I hope I get some good stuff. Film is the cheapest commodity. Boom bom boom.
I admit I felt awkward with Richard Sapir's comment. Then I laugh given the environment.
Grauman's Chinese Theatre IS a freak show!
Just look at tit on the face f it. Hand-prints and footprints in concrete of movies stars. People pose with them. Almost macabre and definitely bizarre. It's true. It's freaky. It's a freak show. And I choose to being the middle of it. Open season
