I have the same issue with artists who obsess over sourcing art, but have no issue with reblogging unsourced photography or other things.

[(Anonymous)]

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiis. If you feel so strongly about sourcing, then it's not enough to source the things you post, you should also refrain from reblogging unsourced art/photography. (And weheartit or pinterest are not proper sources, people.) It seems really obvious to me, but a lot of people do NOT get it.

[(Anonymous)]

Ughhh I freaking hate seeing weheartit as a source. It happens at least twice a day.
Or that, 'credit to original artist'. Gee, that's really helpful.

[(Anonymous)]

'credit to original artist'

FFS. Lazy numpties. Reverse image search or follow up the reblog chain if you actually care about credit.

[(Anonymous)]

The best I've seen is people who use a photographer's work and add "found on flickr". No link, just that. Or-- and I'm not sure if this is better or worse-- sometimes they'll actually say "by so-and-so on flickr" and STILL no damn link. Seriously, how lazy can you get? You were already on flickr where you found the photo, and you can't cut and paste the actual link so the photographer gets some traffic?

Then there's a special hell for people who put their own blog in the source. Assholes.

I am not crazy about people who reblog paparazzi stuff in general. Paparazzi are assholes.

[(Anonymous)]

I just unfollow anyone who reblogs intrusive paparazzi photos, unless it's obvious they have no idea that's what they are and they could conceivably be mistaken for official promo shots.

It took me a long time to understand the difference myself. I had no idea.

Then I finally read up on how paparazzi shots are taken - the stalking, the invasion of privacy (even to children if they happen to be related to someone famous) and above all the danger (like trying to get a reaction by dangerously driving beside the cars of celebs when they're carrying their kids in the back!) It appalled me to think I'd ever reblogged even one of these images.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't care so much about celebs getting their picture taken out in public, but it really bothers me when they take pictures of their relatives or kids. It's so unnecessary and creepy.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know, really. The majority of the photos showing celebs in the street is clearly staged (the clothes [bags especially!], the timing, the location), so I'm very "yeah, whatever, you can stop pretending you're manager hasn't arranged this in advanced to promote your film/image/give you some positive PR/an opportunity to advertise the free stuff you get". I have this impression that celebrities started to play the game to a much biogger extand, so thier relationship with paprazzi is less "abusive" and mroe advantaegou. Of course, it's not all good, and all that, I just feel like it's much better than it used to be.

/but I have to say, I'm rolling my eyes a bit at your choice of the background pic for the secret - I won't believe for a second that KIm Kardashian does not want these photographers there - This is her stick, this is how she generates her income and maintains her presence in the media, and this is why she's usually deressed in major designer labels and attention-getting outfits - if those paps were not here for some reason, somebody from her team would have called them to come (that's acctually ho a lot of these pics of "celebrity X leaving the hotel/gym/car" come about, photographers are informed when the celeb in question wants to be phographed.

[rbhudson]

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, why should this be a secret? Are people that hypocritical?

[(Anonymous)]

It's not really hypocritical. Being famous means you attract attention so it should be expected that people try to take their picture. You don't have to support the paparazzi but even the general population will try for a picture if they can. Celebrities should know being in the limelight is part of the package and they have managers and PR reps to help them deal with it.

There is no reason to take a picture of someone who is not famous and has no support to deal with it.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, celebrities are gonna attract attention. It's part of the deal of being rich and famous.
I don't care about celebrities private lives and I won't follow people that are obsessed with it. Celeb gossip and all that is just trash.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel this. I hate paparazzi culture.

[(Anonymous)]

Like, I think this depends. Most of the time, a celeb will call the paparazzi. Especially now, when people have access to mobile cameras everywhere. A paparazzi wouldn't get money for stalking an unknown celeb doing nothing (with the chance of the celeb not appearing) when they could stage photos and be sure to gain money selling it to a newspaper that will then write about the celeb in question = publicity for the celeb!

I know a woman in New York who saw Taylor Swift walking down the street in full makeup and pretty clothes while a paparazzi followed. Taylor would pause once in a while for good photos, heh.

Same, too much attention on kids aren't good but if you see pics of a family outing on the street or smth, that is for publicity with a called paparazzi so they can show themselves as ~*a good parent & a happy family*~. If a celeb really wants to go undercover I swear 99% can easily manage. If you follow a celeb you will not know what they do for the majority of their day, unless they want you to.

Heck, nowdays celebs even uses "fan-taken" or blurry phone photos just for more authenticity.
