Abstract
A programmed, first communication device, such as a cell phone, operable by a first user in a celebrity mode for requesting a photograph, and operable in a paparazzi mode for taking a picture. When in the celebrity mode, a celebrity signal indicating that a photograph of the first user is desired, is transmitted to at least one second communication device operable in the paparazzi mode. When in the paparazzi mode, an indicator alerts the first user when a celebrity signal has been received so that the first user may take a picture of a second user of the at least one second communication device.
