Ｔｈｅ Ｉｍａｇｅ Ｂａｎｄｉｔ

That was long before mobile phones and the mobs on the red carpet， and Galella prided himself on his cleverness in breaking into velvet- rope environments. He wore wigs， glasses， hats; he faked credentials. Once he cut a hole in a hedge to get a shot of Doris Day sunbathing. (In response， she built a wall， then moved far away.) He followed Jacqueline to a Chinese restaurant， then， after he was invited in by the owners， crouched behind a coat stand and-using only available light-captured an image of Jacqueline with architect IM Pei and heiress Doris Duke. In the uncropped print， the celebrities are not alone: the waiters gaze into the camera， posing for Galella’s photo， while the stars they serve are oblivious.
