Since this week's Photo Hunt subject is "Original", I was tossing up between several images. Then I decided to kick up my heels and have some fun, indulging in my own originality. I decided to twist a very common word - paparazzi.
The word "paparazzi" gained common acceptance in the English language after the release of the movie "La Dolce Vita". Marcello Rubini, played by Marcello Mastroianni, is a gossip writer who hangs out with opportunistic photographers who take pictures of celebrities and sell them to the tabloids.
So I dug out all the pepper I could find in the house ... and some of the cameras as well!

Now I understand: Pepparazzi are not peppermilling around, they go for the grinds! :-)

I always thought the name of the photographer was Paparazzo in Dolce Vita and that's where it came from.
Well you had fun and have entertained us with your original idea.
You get the big appreciation hug for that one. Then again, your wit is rarely anything to sneeze at.
And many thanks for the kindly mention of my Light entry.
