After skyping with Ron Galella in class and proceeding to watch the documentary Smash His Camera at home, I have a clear understanding of why many people have viewed and currently view his practices of photojournalism as creepy and a form of legal stalking. Individuals who become the subject matter of the paparazzi are faced with the dilemma of whether or not their privacy is infringed upon.
For example, Galella would pay doormen to tell him where a certain celebrity was heading. Once, Galella even locked himself in an old building to capture a celebrity on their personal yacht without them ever knowing. Was this ethical of Galella to do without the knowledge of the person being photographed? Was it an invasion of privacy when he pulled out
