I'm geographically uncomfortably close to Hollywood and when I'm tapped to photograph a "celebrity" (always one-on-one+ the usual PR person (sphincter pre-tightened to minimum aperture), never any of that awful paparazzi nonsense) I'm often surprised at how short they are. I remember standing beside Schwarzenegger (with my Leica in hand to get on topic) and thinking, I could kick the Terminator's ass!!!! Really unimpressive physical presence. The only down-to-earth star out of the lot I've shot was Antonio Banderas. Really cool guy, treats you like a new friend. And his gay dwarf agent decked out in silver and denim was a sight to see. All the rest of 'em need a reality check. Dave Yoder Dave Yoder "Robert G. Stevens" wrote: > > > On another note, Galen is surprisingly short when you see him in person.
