Practical Photography

It seems the Christmas spirit of Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all men has captured even hard man Kanye West who has vowed he will be more pleasant to paparazzi photographers.

Recent months have seen various scuffles with Paparazzi Photographers and pleas for laws to be changed to protect other celebrities like himself. The latest bout involved Terry Blackburn a UK freelance photographer who got hurt whilst trying to take a photo of the Rap Star outside a nightclub in Newcastle on 14 November.

West was arrested but there were no charges and stated on his blog;
