Did you also read this? This is the worst: When the project director tried to get permission for me to photograph at the hospital where the baby will be born, the publicity director of the hospital said she would have to be present any time I was there taking photographs. She will be out of town the week the baby is due to be born. Her solution? "Well, I guess if the family is there, you could hand your camera to them and let them take the photos" AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! Even though I like seeing my photos hanging in galleries, I think I'm going to give up on the artsy fartsy crowd from now on. :-( Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
