If you pride yourself as a photojournalist, being called a paparazzi is not a good thing!
According to Wikipedia:
Paparazzi (singular: (m) Paparazzo or (f) Paparazza) is an Italian term used to refer to photojournalists who specialize in candid photography of celebrities, politicians, and other prominent people. Paparazzi tend to be independent contractors, unaffiliated with a mainstream media organization.
By the late 1960s the word, usually in the Italian plural form paparazzi, had entered English as a generic term for intrusive photographers.
That's not moi!!!
In my working life as a news photographer I sometime got myself in really sticky situation!
Like taking a decisive shot of Reuters photographer Goh Chai Hin being man handle by the men-in-blue at the Penang High Court.
