Yep, taking more than one is the idea. I've found that with two shots
of each team, I can match each player's portrait photo with a good team
photo for them. But my patience wears thin when folks complain about
how someone else looks in the team photo. I suspect the coach wasn't
too happy that the cheeky player might have been having a dig at her.
Possibly well deserved, from what I got to see yesterday.
Ah, what do they say about working with children and animals?
