Helping out my friends has helped me appreciate these special event photographers. I have found it stressful. There are worries about equipment and the desire to meet others' expectations. At one event while I was taking a family photo, it became clear to me that the grandfather wanted a certain type of photo. It was clear to me that he was a tyrant, and that his son, ie. my friend, would be in trouble if I didn't get the photo granddad wanted. Sweat began to pour down my back. Can be hard work this special event photography. These photographers earn their money though I'm glad I don't do it often. doug nygren
