Why I had to quit
I decided to put myself right in the middle of the action, renting an apartment near Sunset Boulevard and La Brea Avenue. I covered the usual Hollywood fare: Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Tom Cruise, Brad and Angelina. The market for photos of Britney Spears was particularly huge, with many photo agencies earning a full 30 percent of their income from the images of her latest trip to Starbucks or Rite-Aid -- or of her most recent mental breakdown. When I was covering Britney, I would get to her house at midmorning -- she is not an early riser. I would park in one of the many gravel parking bays along Mulholland Drive, away from the no-stopping zone near her home. The other paps would be there, usually in blacked-out SUVs or Range Rovers. I would sit and wait, making sure that no one was blocking my quick getaway and that my camera was close at hand.
