After The Province posted a story about a confrontation he had with actor Jennifer Aniston’s bodyguard when he was trying to take her photo in Vancouver, he responded in a lengthy letter that said, in part:
“I don’t shoot pictures in scrums of large packs of paparazzi photographers. I usually work alone and I never get in anybody’s face when I take pictures of celebrities around town. Ninety-nine per cent of the time I’m so far away with a long lens the subject does not know I have taken any pictures.”
