I'm not sure if anyone is interested, the title caught my eye.

It'll replay on HBO HD at 4pm anther on HBOWHD at 7pm.

It's about the life and work of paparazzi photographer Ron Galella.

I didnt say it was good. I couldnt sleep last night and the sleeping pills may have made me post this.....

it was rather interesting, if for nothing else to see some of his images. Oh yeah, and to see the damage that Marlon Brando inflicted against his face, WOW!!!

The wife wound up recording it. She didn't even know I knew about it, and thought she'd surprise me with a good documentary. It WAS good, after all. It does a decent job of pointing out the good and bad, pros and cons of his career. It makes him seem cool and like a fool at the same time.

Here's a link to his web site and his galleries. Its nice to look back and see all the celebs he has photographed over the years.
