Photography is one of the most popular hobbies around. And this was back in the days of expensive film and processing.<BR/><BR/>Today, every teenager with a cell phone can consider themselves an avid photographer simply because they take so many pictures of each other for their Facebook pages, blog sites, etc.<BR/><BR/>Many art galleries would be thrilled to present a supposed fine art "show" of similar photos from a celebrity's phone. Just because you're a celebrity doesn't necessarily mean you're a good photographer (although there certainly are some). Neither does being a good photographer necessarily mean one is "celebrity" material.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-11931942692356774352009-02-27T14:29:00.000-05:002009-02-27T14:29:00.000-05:00Sen.
