Egads, Dick, be more chairitable to your deluded confreres. The art of the photographer is one thing. The art of the director is another. Ideally, combine the two.

Dear Ross, Doing something for yourself is the best way to increase your knowledge and gain a respect for those who also do it. See my other posting on defusing soviet landmines - it is a great hobby. The business of getting your friends to do what you want them to do is not easy. They take liberties. They imagine that they are being clever, or memorable, or lovable. When they are being their most lovable and memorable I just imagine them lying on the ground with a crossbow bolt through their necks and it helps considerably. It is similar with large groups at weddings - but I just imagine the meter ticking over, as indeed it does - and smile and take another exposure.
