I used to work at KUSI-TV in San Diego (May 2005 to May 2010). As a part of my job, I met many people listed in Wikipedia. I almost always took photos of these people and added them to Wikipedia (if a more appropriate photo was not already in use). I posted all of these photos on my KUSI website at:

Images of me with some of the famous people I have met & taken photos of

edit

I have added a bunch of photos with me and famous people. This is to prove to some Wikipedia editors that I really do meet famous people and take their photos. I hope this will keep them from deleting my photos because they think they were copied, screen shots or stolen.
