I've said no (or had a studio say no on my >behalf) to 200 more. Of course, a photographer can have whatever attitude they wish. But I suspect that their attitude might reflect their competence as well. Really good photographers know how to schmooz and mold events in their favor without being overbearing and dictatorial. I've been to enough weddings to know how to instantly spot the good photographers from the lousy photographers. Mark Rabiner photographed my daughter's wedding last summer in Monterey. Mark hadn't photographed a wedding in a decade, or more. He was probably the most professional photographer, at a wedding, that I have ever witnessed. He and my daughter talked things over and away he went. You both didn't realize that he was there, and then did realize that he was there. Like the Predator. Only visible when he uncloaked. The wedding photographs are stellarly fantastic. Mark is an amazing photographer. Jim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
