    Jeff Bridges is another one:

    Wikepedia has written:

    Bridges has been an amateur photographer since high school. He began taking photographs on film sets during Starman at the suggestion of co-star Karen Allen in 1984, with his favorite camera, a Widelux F8 that his wife bought him. He published many of these photographs online and in a 2003 book entitled Pictures: Photographs by Jeff Bridges. In 2013, he received an Infinity Award for his photos from the International Center of Photography in New York. A follow-up book, Jeff Bridges: Pictures Volume Two, was published in 2019.

    Are they really good photographers or do they get published because of who they are?

    It would be interesting to put their pictures in one of my club competitions and see how they do.

    Published by who?

    There seems to be a hint that celebrities can not be "good photographers"

    A hint that they would not do well.

    The latest news on Jeff Bridges is that he's saving a Panoramic Camera Brand from disappearing, the Widelux.

    Ted, don't try and read things I didn't say. I asked a question, I didn't give an opinion.

    OK.

    To me, it appeared to be a rhetorical question. A rhetorical question implies its own answer; it’s a way of making a point.
