I take only those shots that please me. I seldom use flash. Mostly my 50mm Sumarit and Tri-X on my M3. If anyone wants a print, they must ask for it in a very gentle way. I care not a jot for what my relatives think of me. I've never been insulted. I've always been respected. I never get in the way of anyone hired to do the formal work. I've never volunteered to do a professional's job, because I refuse to work like a professional, setting up those standard poses and using flash. The affair is theirs. The photography is mine. Bob
