last pic in this good thread, thanks dodgy - with a small story of my understanding of fame - when i started off a few years ago, i got to know this guy with such an interesting face in Blackrock, that i regularly photographed - we shared coffee and smokes , and wisdom (his) - after a while someone told me it was Piet Sluis , one of Irelands premier graphic artists , and an artist whose amazing watercolours sold for 6 figure sums - my attitude to fame changed, thankfully Piet didnt, until he died a couple of years ago

Piet Sluis R.I.P.

As you are all photographers here, some of you might have seen the movie City Of God and remember Knockout Ned.

Turns out he's a singer too:

come to think of it, a lot of these are snaps as opposed to there being any interaction between the photographer and the subject. Kinda observational as opposed to interactive.

Just sayin'.

He did the Bowie covers in the movie "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou"...

I realised this after I put up my pic of Arsene Wenger and I totally agree with you.
I did have interaction with Steve Ignorant though!

In the last 40 years of taking photographs I don't think I have ever taken a snap of someone famous. Is this a record?

So if gigs dont count.....

I beg to differ ...

Joel-Peter Witkin

.

PS this is about as family friendly as I can get from Witkin, his work is extraordinary but NSFW.

The Irish army don't use swords. I believe that officer is her aide-de-camp.

"One of her staff", was most likely her personal protection unit.

Randomly met him while on hols in a town in West Africa. He had three jeeps but I still ended up sharing a tiny cab to the next town with a guy who only had one pair of pants for his month-long holiday - ones that he made himself from the skin of a deer he killed hunting. True story.

I'm actually curious about this now, I've definately seen army officers in dress uniform carrying swords, I have a sword that used to belong to my grandfather who was an officer in the Irish army (although that was, admittedly, quite some time ago) . The IDF site doesn't seem to have any informtation about it though. Maybe there aren't any regulations surrounding it or something.

I think the sword is only used for official ceremony duty, which would not include general presidential escort (unless she's meeting an official state representative). It would be used for guard of honour, parades, and such.

You might get better info on the military section on boards.

swords are used as part of an officers "Number ones"
so only used for official ceremonial events
they'd never been seen with them day to day
