So I've noticed that whenever theres been a paparazzi photo of some celebrity laying out by a pool or getting a pedicure everyone loves it but if someone takes a candid pic of some girl out in public somewhere a lot of people suddenly have a problem with it. I don't really see the difference. Just want to see what everyone has to say about this.

The difference is that celebrities are public figures. Would you not agree there's a difference between celeb/non celebs in this regard?

It's the purpose of the photo...
Paparazzi do it for the money, and their pictures do not revolve around feet. Guys into feet do it for personal gratification (if you get what I mean). Obviously the latter is A LOT more creepy to the general public.

I agree with the first two responders, and I also think the paparazzi should not have the right to be as invasive as they are.

I have friends in the photo-journalist industry. They are usually tipped off by the publicists of that famous person (NOT using celebrity as by definition it means someone to celebrate and most aren't ).
However foot photographers are 100% in it for the sexual aspect. As that's what it is. A sexual fetish.
Granted a lot of women are not fussed at all about their feet. It's like if a woman asked me if she could take a photo of my eyes or hands - I wouldn't care if they did that sneakily from a distance with a telephoto lens or asked me, even though it was for their fetish.

Omega I see what your trying to get at with your post and to a degree I agree.
I think if a celeb is trying to be private (maybe at home or on holiday) then its bad crack that they get those candid pics taken and we all love it. However as a celebrity they have made the life choice of living in the public eye. As much as they or we may or may not like it thats part of what goes along with their job.
But lets look at a scenario thats a little different. If your daughter is sitting in the library studying and a guy comes inand pulls out a camera and starts filming her breasts. Clearly her breasts not even like just her. If you noticed this would you just say "Oh thats ok. He can do that then go home and wank himself silly over my daughter." Would you fcuk!

Don't blame the paparazzi on that one blame the alcohol and the jackass of a limo driver that was behind the wheel.
If he chose to slow down or stop for pictures they'd all be alive today.

they dont just take pictures, they never stop.
and ya it makes no sense when talking about foot photos. they spend all that money on pedicure, and show them off everywhere they go. youd think that they are asking for you take a picture of their feet.

You already said you noticed the double standard, so you already have established the common opinion. I personally do not believe a celebrity or meter maid should have photos posted on the web without her knowledge. Your fantasy may not be shared by all, so you should respect their opinions and share with yourself.

Well it's a good thing that photography is protected by the 1st amendment here in the USA.
There is absolutely no such thing as public privacy in this day and age.
