Was in the staff room at work the other day. Getting quite bored of reading 20 year old Womans Day, Womans Weekly and the dog eared Readers Digest. Funny isn't it, no one admits to liking the Readers Digest but it's the most read one. Yesterday was a Womans Weekly that was only a few days old. Probably meant for the patients but brought into the staffroom by someone wanting a lunchtime read. Do I like reading yet again about Lindsey what's her face or the latest Brittany scandel? Not really. However, a bloke needs to keep ahead of his Hollywood gossip. A woman likes a chap who knows who's who in L.A. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

Flicking through the pages I stumbled across THIS (http://tph1.orcon.net.nz/seal.jpg) image of Mr and Mrs Seal. Zooming (http://tph1.orcon.net.nz/seal1.jpg) in a bit more shows a MKIII of some sort. Hopefully with a very wide lens on the front.!!

So I wondered. Does anyone know if there are any 'famous' Canon users on here? If not, next time you see Mr and Mrs Seal...point them this way:D

I think there may be a few, but they're not so obvious.

Besides, if they came 'out' on POTN, they could be quoted!

*gasp*

Myself, I was wondering about Danny Bonnaducci.

He's everywhere.

Organizing a POTN Tour of Famous people. I guess if nobody starts dropping names, I may charge $5 to take you on a mini parade of the world class celebrities.

PS: Lindsey, text me, babe.

I'm a very reputable photographer and my businesses name is well reconized, and many motorsport event promoters know my name, all round Aus. More the burnout scene than the sponsored motorsports, but it's still fact. It all depends

I'm sure the very famous people like to preserve their anonymity. I, for example, have worked very hard at hiding the fact that I was the first chair clarinet player in my high school band.

Eight of ten threads that I start, feel like a great idea at the moment, and if they would work, they would be in fact great. But what happens if things don't go my way? well, it becomes an awkward thread that evryone looks at it, and goes "uhm, ok.."

Yep. The only reason the Title Fairy even put that there on this family-friendly forum is because he or she thought I meant I photograph it.

I laugh at the feeble attempt to pursue a title.
But rest assured, the TF laughs not. It is watching you as you type, waiting to pin you with the title you least desire.
Like "Beyonce Digs me"

Just proves that while you may be "world class" at one thing, there's always something else that can quickly humble you.
