If they do its a fluke. I never feel the success of a picture of someone depends on if THEY like it or not. All their friends will love it. And my friends will love it. THEY will hate it. Or visa versa. Doing portrait photography for decades I can say that men are more hard to please and generally more vain by far them women. And I'm not talking artists. I'm talking insurance guys and stock brokers. Mark Rabiner New York, NY 40?47'59.79"N 73?57'32.37"W http://rabinergroup.com/
