I've had it both ways (no Cotty, down boy :-) Some fellow photographers I've found very easy to work along side and in fact in some cases, given their particular skill set, my images have benefited. On other occasions it's been a significantly more social type of coupling. I really expect it just depends on the types of people in the group and most importantly the degree of familiarly and understand that they share.
