the art of the chase

...and when celebrities used to be cool & interesting. Ron Galella on the chase: "Jackie was my ideal subject. She was always mobile. It presented a challenge to go after her. I also enjoyed going after Robert Redford. He's aloof, he's shy, he doesn't stop. And I admired him — he's more than an actor." Galella's book includes an exhibition of 190 vintage prints taken between 1960 - 1990.






RG's final word: "My job is thick with risks, threats, occasional violence and sometimes the necessary folly that courts humiliation and ridicule. But I don't care. I see myself as the Dean of American paparazzi.
