As outsiders, we felt safer among our own kind. Then to cover the story this pack finds subjects and creates the images for their employers. The people seeing the pack of journalists and looking for attention gather for the press. It is a symbiotic relationship. Many best pictures are made being a lonewolf; however, in the heat of battle two things are important; you must get the pictures and your life is more important. It is always easier to remain with the pack to hunt and therefore those not there can discuss how *they * create the situation. Happy snaps, Steven Alexander
