Oh, the joys of college life. Everyday another email about a visiting celebrity. Academy-Award nominated actress Laura Linney. Bestselling author Joan Didion. Acclaimed actor Kal Penn (from The Namesake). Howard Dean and Ralph Nader. It's hard to avoid running into famous people. I don't even have the time to go see them all.
So of course being a mere mortal I want to take pictures of these people. And I'm given tons of opportunities! And I have a great camera! So how is it that I can't manage to take even a single decent picture?
The truth is it's karma. It harkens back all the way to my second trip to NYC, when I posed with a wax model of Nicolas Cage and tried to pass him off later as the real thing. Now, I am forever doomed to be in the presence of the stars and capture only horrible photos of them. See examples above (Laura Linney and Kal Penn, of course. Couldn't you tell?)
