Red carpets at the Santa Barbara
International Film Festival
can be a photographer's heaven or a
shooter's nightmare, depending on one's sensibilities and
aspirations. For Indy photographer Paul Wellman , they're a little
bit of both: perfect opportunities to snap shots of some of the
world's most famous people, but hectic and competitive enough to
make him dream of red wine and his couch.

Nonetheless, we feel he gets the best shots of anyone covering
the festival, so we're dedicating this space to present a slideshow
of Paul Wellman's best photos. And remember to keep coming back to
this spot, because Wellman will be updating the photos constantly.
So without further adieu, here are Wellman's top shots from the
entire fest.
