Digital Camera Fiend - A Camera Review

Photojournalism can be a grueling career, working all hours of the day, being ready to bolt to a news scene in a moment’s notice, endless waiting once you get to the scene for the perfect shot.

Is it any wonder that some photographers end up in the underbelly of the profession as members of the paparazzi. It’s grueling and thankless, and nobody likes you, but the pay-off is much higher.

Many news photographers do what they do because they believe they are making a difference. The paparazzi photographers do it purely for the money, and quite often they ruin people’s lives.

But every once in awhile the paparazzi beast can do some good. The recent shots of Lindsay Lohan passed out in a stupor in a car two days after a drunken driving arrest where police found cocaine at the scene might just do this troubled star some good.

The photos, coupled with her arrest, pretty much forced her to enter a drug rehabilitation program and hopefully this time the message will stick with her. She was headed on a one-way path of self-destruction. It could be that the paparazzi photographers who snapped her photos that night indirectly saved her life.

Drug addiction is a serious problem everywhere in this country, not just in the back rooms of Hollywood clubs. It can afflict people of all ages, races, and social classes. The sponsors of this blog post, Stone Hawk Drug Rehab know all about addiction, because they were once addicts themselves.

They are one of the premier Michigan drug rehab centers, which offer 28-day, and 3-6 month treatment programs. The programs feature drug detox to eliminate physical cravings, life skills training, and post-program job referrals.

If Lohan’s stint at the Malibu treatment facility doesn’t work, perhaps she should go far from LA, to say, Michigan for another shot at being clean. This post is sponsored.
