  It has recently been argued that the observed ellipticities of galaxies may
be determined at least in part by the primordial tidal gravitational field in
which the galaxy formed. Long-range correlations in the tidal field could thus
lead to an ellipticity-ellipticity correlation for widely separated galaxies. I
present results of a calculation of the angular power spectrum of intrinsic
galaxy shape correlations using a new model relating ellipticity to angular
momentum. I show that for low redshift galaxy surveys, the model predicts that
intrinsic correlations will dominate correlations induced by weak lensing, in
good agreement with previous theoretical work and observations. The model also
produces `E-mode' correlations enhanced by a factor of 3.5 over `B-modes' on
small scales, making it harder to disentangle intrinsic correlations from weak
lensing.
