they are all photographers - don't be so arrogant to believe that only
manual focus prevents the real photographer (but thanxs - I never owned a
autofocus). They are getting more money for the pictures then a lot of
"real" ones - so they are realy professionell.

If you drive a 3 tons car with 150km/h through a city - you should think
about the possibility beeing killed in that situation...

Now you are doing exactly what pushed the paparazzi behind her - you read
newspapers, watch tv and you like and believe what you see. Or did you talk
to one of the photographers or a police man? Were did you get your facts
from?
I don't like this kind of work too and I hate people who don't help with
1st aid - but you have to see, that the news about the accident is exactly
the same paparazzi style.

It's allways the same: people love easy black & white readings of
situations. Diana used the press as the press used her...
