Which goes to prove what?  Advertising photographers take lots of pictures.  Photojournalists take lots of pictures.  Sports photographers take lots of pictures.  Okay, maybe portrait photographers don't shoot frame after frame for their decisive image.  Perhaps your intention was to equate H.C.-B. with a "hack" advertising photographer.  Nice try, but it won't work.
