Pictures in his cameras lead to Yakima graffiti suspect’s arrest
Seattle Times – Jun 19, 2007
He came under scrutiny after his car was impounded during a burglary arrest in the Lower Yakima Valley. A towing-company worker opened the glove box June 11 to look for registration papers and found a digital camera. Thinking the camera might have been stolen investigators turned it on said Deputy Ed Campbell and found a large and detailed photo gallery of the man spray-painting graffiti on buildings many of them identifiable. Deputies then obtained a search warrant for his home in Union Gap and seized a large amount of graffiti paraphernalia as well as a camcorder with video of him spray-painting his “tag” or graffiti signature. Based on images from both cameras Campbell said other young people are also under investigation and may be arrested. Copyright © 2007 The Seattle Times CompanyMore Local News headlines.
First-rate Beckham Refuses to Play to the Gallery
Buzzle – Jun 19, 2007
com –>Perhaps no image will come to define the Beckham circus better than that of Posh the Beckham boys and the Cruises cheering on their hero at the Bernab?last Sunday. If the scene had been captured by an artist rather than a long-lensed sports hack it would have been called a tableau vivant and installed in the National Portrait Gallery. Posh and Tom Cruise and his latest wife Katie Holmes stand in a line all three made conspicuous by their shades. Becks’ sister Joanne and his mum Sandra are also in the picture – you can tell they are not really famous because they are not wearing sunglasses at night. The Beckham boys are present but only Cruz (no not Tom not Penelope but the Beckhams’ youngest – keep up) cradled in Mum’s arms and Romeo grinning for England and nestling into Granny are in shot. The photo is a captured moment but at the same time it is brilliantly stage-managed… Becks’ sister Joanne and his mum Sandra are also in the picture – you can tell they are not really famous because they are not wearing sunglasses at night.

The photo is a captured moment but at the same time it is brilliantly stage-managed. So much is fake or contrived from the dazzling array of blond highlights to Posh’s boobs rising like perfectly formed silicone half-moons out of a tight black dress. The mini-Beckhams are in Real Madrid kits No23 like Dad and have identikit cropped haircuts. They even appear to possess rather worryingly identikit sideburns. The image is a statement.
