In the last 7 days the NY Daily News did a story taken directly from my Confessions of a Paparazzi website, giving me credit and mentioning the site (see 2/4/08 entry), I have a Hillary Clinton photo published in Us Weekly and on Sunday, I was in the Inquirer. INQlings picked up the byline I wrote to explain my Katie Lee Joel shot, which I took in NYC last week. And I got lots of 15 minutes of fame… talk about getting a big head, if one more person recognizes me and my name from the Inky publishing and I am going to have to get an PR person. 
She’s got a whey
Philly paparazzo HughE Dillon, in New York for Fashion Week, caught up with Katie Lee Joel, wife of Billy Joel, who joined the piano man for his stay surrounding the recent Academy Ball. She enjoyed her visit, Dillon reports: “She said the people were very friendly, the streets were surprisingly cleaner than she imagined, the orchestra was lovely, and Geno’s cheesesteaks were their favorite. She said she had the ‘liquidy cheese sauce.’ I told her that’s Cheez Whiz.”
Well rumor has it that things have changed drastically since that entry, and it has gone from bad to worse.
They are going to wrap the bell tower part of the building like a SEPTA bus. 
Now instead of replacing the PNB letters with “Wachovia” and it’s logo on all four sides, the tower structure will be “wrapped” in the “Wachovia” logo with a SKRIM. Folks you will no longer be able to see the 
The PNB lettering will be removed at a huge cost, in the Spring. That’s the reason for the two year delay since the first “Zoning Notice” was put up in 2005; without getting into specifics, it had to be determined who owned the sign and who was going to foot the enormous bill to remove it. There was a verdict, but I don’t know if the info is priviledge or not so I am not going to divulge that information. 
And to make matters even worse I hear they are just trashing the letters, I guess someone needs to get the scrap mental funds, but couldn’t they just offer the 26 ft high, 13 foot wide letters to anyone? How about a “P” can’t anyone use a “P”?
This is my last entry for the week as I will be in NYC photographing celebrities at Fashion Week.
