Doctors Without Borders, or Medecins Sans Frontieres, are very, very 
particular about how they are photographed.  They have their own 
publicity photographers and usually do not allow anyone else to take 
photos of the doctors at work.  I had taken some after Hurricane 
Mitch in Honduras and got a call from MSF asking me not to use them 
for anything without prior approval.  I did manage to get approval to 
use one but it was a real hassle.
