She's reportedly quite good at what she does, and I'm sure she makes a great deal more money than I do... but I don't care for heavily "produced" photographs, don't find her work particularly interesting, couldn't care less about associating with "celebrities" (I meet a lot of very interesting people as it is, none of whom have anywhere near the kind of ego issues that most celebrities I've met are refusing to deal with...), and, while I admit that having money is up to a point more fun than not having it, I learned years ago that there isn't and never will be enough money to make up for doing work I don't like and can't be proud of... So I don't see anything at all that she has that I would want. I'm glad she's happy with what she does, but I'm equally happy that I'm not her. (And I freakin' bloody HATE walking into a room and hearing "Hey, it's the photographer from the paper!!" because ain't getting NOTHING interesting after that.) -- R.
