Famous People I Want to Take Pictures of…

• Peter Stormare.  If the dictionary needed to use an image to define the word “cool,” Peter’s photo would be it.  I would take a really tight picture of his face while he’s totally wasted/drunk…and he would still look f*cking cool.  Only Peter Stormare can pull that off.
• Patricia Arquette.  Why her?  Well, why not?  She’s one of the finest actresses that walked the Earth.  I imagine taking a picture of her as she’s taking her morning coffee or tea in her home kitchen. 
• Samuel Jackson.    He would have been the coolest person in my book if he hadn’t made “Shaft.”  Gawd, that was a terrible movie.  I will only take a picture of his piercing stare…just his eyes.  That will scare the hell out of everyone who looks at it…
• Giada de Laurentiis.  Most photos you will see of her is with her trademark smile…I would take a photo of her from the neck up, hair up, little make up…and NOT smiling…in fact, I want to take a picture of her genuinely pissed.  I would try to piss her off before I click the shutter.
• Edward Norton.  The greatest actor who ever graced Hollywood.  White background.  Him on a bar stool.  I would try my best to make him laugh.  Then I would take a picture of him while laughing.
• Steve Jobs.  Tight shot of his face in B&W.  Spray of blood on his face.  People would be guessing if it’s blood or something else…
• Woody Allen.  He is the breathing evidence of why God exists.  Imagine if he had Brad Pitt’s look with all that talent and wealth… ALL women would flock to him.  I would take a picture of him playing the clarinet on a NYC subway station with a really wide angle lens in grainy black and white.
• M. Night Shyamalan.  This is easy.  I would take a picture of him on a field, him in a Yoga position next to a HUGE pile of dung.  If we can’t manage to get a pile of dung…a stack of DVDs of his movies since “The Sixth Sense” will do.
• Howard Stern.  Silhoutte of him in side view.  Screaming.  F*ck yes.
• Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.  I have no idea on how I would do it but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be very difficult to screw up this one.

That’s it.  I’m not even sure why I wrote this.  But, hey, If any one of you on the list is reading my blog…
