I want to be a paparazzi in NY how can I start?

Well, you need to know how to use a camera and be able to afford it. Paps use very very expensive cameras, the lenses alone cost a thousand or more. Oh, and you need to have been a gang member or spent some time in jail. Seriously. Many of the paps today are ex-gang member felons (and quite a few are convicted offenders). They're willing to do whatever to get the shot, extremely immoral. That is one reason why the anti-paparazzi bill (AB 2479) will go into affect in January. NY already has laws, and more are being considered.
