Philippe - I agree totally. That is the hardest part of this kind of photography. You have to get what the agency needs but you see so many photo opportunities that you could come back and spend more time with on your on. I've been very fortunate to be able to go ahead of most of my groups and spend a week photographing by myself. I love doing that. The photography of situations that are important for the group can be very stressful. You did a wonderful job and I know they are very happy. I hope you do get to go back on your own. It's such a wonderful experience to shoot what you want and not necessarily what is required. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
