i want to know how many people in here had a chance to take a picture with somebody famous, and how you got that picture, im a bartender/waiter and kitchen helper, so i had my chances meeting actors, comediants, singers, ect. but the one i really like, was meeting Bryan May's from #Queen, he get out of his cars, talk to a few of us, signed our tickets, t-shirts, very nice person, a god from the real rock and roll era!!

I've met a few but never got pictures. Most of them are now dead except for Jody Foster. Warren Oates is dead. I talked with him once while he was having a beer in between takes.

I'm not big on photos so I never waste time with them if I meet someone well known, etc.

I had a beer or two with Ian Andersen from Jethro Tull in Munich in 1971 . No pictures, though, but good memories of a man who was polite and funny and talkative in "real life", not the wild creature with the flute . He told me about his wife and the farm they bought to raise turkeys ( vague memory, maybe a language barrier problem)

I have a picture with Loudon Wainwright III as he was singning a CD after a show at The Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix.

I doubt I could find the photo now. But, when I was 21 (1969), Bob Hope was rehearsing for a show later that evening. The show, part of Knoxville’s Dogwood Arts Festival. The venue was on the UT-K campus.

I sneaked in, and as he was leaving, got his attention and snapped his picture. Since then, on assignment for the school paper, I had the opportunity to photograph a number if well know entertainers in concert in Knoxville and Atlanta.

Unfortunately, I’ve never been in the photos. Sigh.

thanks for replying to my post, tell us more about your experiences, did you have any bad ones?

@Esojotrebla The only two I would consider bad were (1) trying to photograph Elvis Presley. His handlers never let us get close enough. We never got a shot. And, (2) trying to photograph Bette Midler. Her handlers kept chasing us around the venue. We got some shots, but we never got close enough to get good photographs.
