Frank Theriault thought about the phenomenon of a phalanx of photogs photographing at the same time and asked:
"Shoot alone or with groups? What's your preference, if you have one?" I like to shoot alone. I can concentrate on my subject without distractions. I do occasionally take field trips with camera clubs and it's annoying. I spend too much time trying to keep the other photographers out of my backgrounds, watching the legs on my tripod etc. I don't get as many good pictures when I'm with a group. I enjoy the social aspect of it but the photography isn't as good. Tom Reese
