WHAT'S THIS DITTY REALLY ABOUT?C/C pls+tnks1st correct ans10pts?

THE SHUTTERBUG

The shutterbug just crawls around

And photographs the sky and ground

So-- anything, that comes in view

Will wind up being taken too

It's learned to hold its breath and press

For any festive look or dress

Or if there's not, it gets the shot

As far as stopping, it cannot

This insect's driven far to frame

An entry that will make a name

And cause the news to shoot its mug

But at days end it's just a bug

Update:

Yes Aquarius, your brain is in your seventh house, and you are correct, and on top of it ---just like the papparazzi. As soon as the box comes up you get the points----Good Job!

Update 2:

Good to hear from you Ma(Sue)-----but no, the fire ant is cute and cuddly compared to the scurvy of the three p's--Good Try-------------william

Update 3:

LD--- I was hoping I wouldn't have to give the clue I gave as an afterthought in the last posting of this. Princess Diana(I liked her so much)-----Anyway the last verse probably seems more correct now, and yes that is my opinion of the folks who value the shot over everything else. Thanks for the second answer-------------william
