same as Jason (@bobfoto) I have got photos but none are on my 365.
I have managed to get vartious photos at concerts of Green Day, Papa Roach, Buck Cherry, Disturbed, Halestorm, Foo Fighters, Counting Crows, Jimmy Eat World and AFI.
I've also managed over the years to get lots of photos of Moto GP racers, Superbike racers (British and World) and other bike racers. The photos have been both of them racing and when they were wandering around in the pits.
My favourites have to be of Kevin Schwantz in the early 90's, he was a wonderful person, I was only about 7 at the time and despite that he head a broken wrist and was meant to be doing an interview with some press he pulled me up onto his knee and spent ages chatting with me and then made the interviewers speak with me instead because I had raised money for a project which helped charity Save the Children provide immunisations for children in rural areas (this project evolved into the charity Riders for Health.)
I also love the photos I have of Valentino Rossi, in particular one from about 10 years ago which I took of him hanging out of his moto home window just before he reached down to sign my t-shirt, as he couldn't reach properly he lifted me up signed my t-shirt then gave me a kiss. For a teenage girl meeting one of her favourite racersI couldn't have asked for more! (I'd been cheering him on since he first appeared in the 125 races and still do to this day!)
I've also taken photos of what I consider the "old masters" Barry Sheen, Kenny Roberts (Sr), Wayne Rainy, Wayne Gardener, Eddie Lawson, Ron Haslam, Randy Mamola and the more recent/current racers: Max Biagi, Carl Fogarty, Alex Criville, Norick Abe, Kenny Roberts (Jr), Carlos Checa, James Toseland, Cal Crutchlow, Sete Gibernau, Noriyuki Haga, Loris Capirossi... The list goes on!
I suppose the racers only count as famous if you are at all interested in bike racing though.
Completely by accident really - in NY, lots of commotion, camera, action - and then SJP came out while shooting Sex and the City. I managed to get a quick back-view pic before security herded the spectators briskly away.
As others have said - yes, but not on here. Duranduran; Jon Bonjovi ( @indiannie_jones will be proud of me!) Bryan Adams - all years back - so far back they're all film photos :o
More recently - all the Top Gear presenters. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more shots of them if I get filming tickets to S17 this summer.
