You're right. But I only asked permission because I chickened out :-). However, you may be right that the end result was better because the subject was aware. Perhaps a mix is the best way to go. If you're in danger of being beaten to death and losing your camera, ask permission and hope for the best. If you think you can get away with a stealth shot, fire away <g>. Paul
