It's not that you don't have the balls, just that you'd prefer to retain

I am not sure I agree, Steve. First of all, I do not have the balls to  
interrupt a passionate couple to request a picture. The whole point of  
these is that the couples are absorbed in each other, not the  
photographer.

Cheers,
Nathan
