... you could be in for a big surprise.

It's not just thieves who may be eyeing your gear.

Some of our 'colleagues' are getting a bad name ...

Great. I guess I'll be carrying pepper spray with me if I ever go to Malibu.

Small world...the photographer mentioned at the beginning of the article (Diana Lundin) is a microstock photographer and was a bouncer at LO for a short time when I first became one.

If you guys want to see video of the ruckus, it's on TMZ.com.  Just a day or two before, Matthew McConoughy nicely warned the paps that trouble was brewing.

I can’t believe the complaining about paparazzi.  It makes me sick when people who “earn” 20 mio for 2-6 weeks “work” complain about paparazzi.

The paps are part of the reason why they can demand these sums. If the paps break the law, let the law deal with it. My advise, stop complaining. If you can’t handle it, take your millions and move somewhere else …
