I have seen photographs of Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges and Queen Elizabeth 11 with a film camera in their hands. Have you seen any "celebrities" ènjoying a little photography?

When the late great opera tenor Franco Corelli was interviewed in his apartments after his retirement, on his table were a Rolleiflex, and what appeared to me to be a Zeiss Super 8 camera and a Zeiss Contessa. Not in this interview but elsewhere, he said that he retired to pursue his hobbies.

Brian May (of the band Queen) is hugely involved with stereoscopic photography.

Lenny Kravitz is another. If I remember correctly, his father was a photojournalist. Also, Norman Reedus (Daryl from the Walking dead).

You can find more in this series (unfortunately ended): Capture with Mark Seliger

Audrey Tautou (seen with camera around 1:40).
But is it just me, or does the spot seem less romantic and more stalker?

Patti Smith is fond of her Polaroid Land 250, according to her book. I wonder where she gets film for it these days :-(
