Wanted to throw in a quick blog here. It was just announced about 30 mins ago that Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing, Ghost) has passed away today at the age of 57 after a long battle with cancer.
I personally was not a huge fan, and only saw part of Dirty Dancing once. Ghost was pretty good along with some of his other films, but it does affect me every time somebody passes away. I find it interested how we react so sadly to Celebrities passing away, yet there are so many people who die every single day. Old age, Cancer, Murder, Car Accident. I suppose that it's the way we are brought into the daily lives of celebrities, whether it is in a positive or negative way i.e the long famous and infamous life of Michael Jackson.
As a photographer who has worked for a newspaper before, I have come close to some celebrities. Ieven shot an event with Eva Longoria Parker last year which was really fun and a learning experience. I don't think I could ever take on a Paparazzi Job though. I'm not one to invade the privacy or chase a celebrity down 3 blocks of a Hollywood street and in their car window. It's not really my thing.
R.I.P. Patrick Swayze. Many have loved you. You will always be dirty dancing in our hearts.
