"Paparazzi" (sp?) is a somewhat derogetory term for a photogragher who 
takes pictures to sell to publications like the Inquierer, the Globe, 
etc., by constantly invading the privacy of the subject and usually 
going WAY over the line.  ("Last Photo of Elvis!" - taken at the morgue)

Two on a bike.  One drives (sometimes like a maniac).  The other takes 
pictures.


Credit where credit is due:  The National Inquierer has reportedly 
turned down someone's offer to sell pictures taken at the sceen before 
police arived for $250,000 and has challenged other publications to 
boycot the photos.
