Hunting Ashley

The New York Post seems rather proud of itself for what it claims are the first public photos of Ashley Alexandra Dupre since it was revealed that she was the “Kristen” that former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer paid $4300 to have sex with.

I’m more than a little appalled that this young lady is being hounded by the media.

At the same time, as a photographer and fledgling journalist, I have to admit I’m a little in awe of the Post‘s work ethic.

Reading between the lines, it appears that despite the two months that have elapsed since the scandal broke, when the Post got a tip that Dupre left home to take a bus into Manhattan, the paper dispatched two photographers to catch her at the Port Authority Bus Terminal and take pictures.
