Spencer Pratt's Hunt for Heidi and Mel

He’s usually a target for the paparazzi, but Monday (August 23) Spencer Pratt got on the other side of the camera as he played the part of a shutterbug in Costa Rica.

The former “Hills” star was said to be in search of his soon-to-be-ex-wife Heidi Montag as he toted a DSLR camera with a massive telephoto lens.

Pratt also said he was looking to get a picture of Mel Gibson so he could sell it and pay for his mounting legal fees.

In related news, a source close to Spencer has revealed that he is hoping to work things out with Heidi, including couple’s counseling and whatever else is required. And Heidi is willing to give things another chance, too.

Enjoy the pictures of Spencer Pratt doing his thing in Costa Rica (August 23).
