Who would have guessed that Brad Pitt, one of the most photographed celebrities, likes to shoot photos? One of the images here (camera friendly star) shows Pitt holding a Lomo camera with a fisheye lens (180 deg coverage). For his last birthday, Angelina Jolie gave him a reconditioned Polaroid camera that was modified to shoot 4"x5" film and adjust for distortion. It's called a Littman 45 single and the prices start at $3000.
I wonder what his images look like? Does he re-shoot old movie scenes like in this month's Vanity Fair magazine? Does he shoot pictures of his sexy wife? Does he take self portraits? He must be pretty vain because, after all, how many people show up for a magazine interview shirtless?
I bet that Vanity Fair's photographer who shot the new "Rear Window" still (shown here) using a digital camera. Who wants to mess with film when digital gives you immediate gratification. With digital you also don't give the Target clerk a chance to see your.... art.
He has the money - also for motorcycle, flying, saving the world.
Seems like a decent guy, though, for a celebrity, & not bad looking - a little cleancut, being from Missouri & all. Seemed more suited to J Anniston but who knows .. Jolie seemed a little wilder (cutting, tattooing, wearing husband's blood in a vile, bisex etc.) & now seems almost maternal & too anorexic.
Well I don't watch tv but I do read tabloids.

I actually bought that Vanity Fair. It has a good article on Obama but can't remember why I bought it - good images in it to draw, I think. Love magazines. They don't talk back.
