Handing film to a client is not professional or is only professional in the
sense that it's schlock work to the max.

Unless its a slide to a magazine and you for sure get it back. And that
doesn't happen any more you hand them a cd with some stuff on it..

Hand away your film you hand away your copywrite. There's no point in
getting worked up about getting a good shot.
A photographer builds a body of work. He doss not sell that work to a
client. He/she sells the USE of that work. A Specific use.
