Happy Birthday to Harrison Ford and Ken Jeong!

I know I am paparazzi scum for this one, but what do you do when you spot your #1 idol from childhood in a magazine moment, and your job depends on capturing this kind of stuff? This was my best exclusive set to date at that point. A pap can't hope for a much better shot than this. I was just out "fishing" on the west side of L.A. when I spotted Harrison out with his family. I wasn't searching for him nor following him. I just pulled over ahead of them and shot this from my car window. I still feel guilty for it, because I'm sure he wanted to kill me at that exact moment. But all I can say in my defense is that other paps would have followed him and truly ruined his day, while I just snapped a quick burst of shots and went on my way. The fact that I have such an ethical conundrum about this shows that I was never cut out for this type of work. More successful paps wouldn't even bat an eye.
