If they have a ego, I find they sometimes need a bit of reality check. 90% of the time I find they are just like you and me, normal folk.. it's just good to talk and find you share common problems and solutions. Then again, If you need to photographed all the time, then maybe there is a personal issue. :) As for awful photographs I have had my fair share of them over the years. I think I can find 1 good pic, if I'm lucky. don't sweat about it, people often want to see the real person not the posed photo shoot :) meh, celebrities – they are just people… If they have a ego, I find they sometimes need a bit of reality check.

Although I've never mingled with famous people I have found myself in situations where it would have been very easy to just walk up and ask for a photo but I have chosen not to. In my own case, if I respect the person/people enough that I would want a photo, I also respect them too much to hassle them and ask for a photo. Does that make sense to anyone but myself?
