Thank you Frank! you made me really smile!

I think the true Paparazzi shoot famous persons only, for them this is like 
a profession. I?ve never get money from one of my pictures - unfortunately ! 
I have sold some ones on the Gallery I?m exposing, that?s all, nothing 
important.

About the rules and other of the aspects you mention I agree, but if I don?t 
need exhibit the picture and the picture is neither a great one ? it is not 
worst made more efforts on this way.

Thank you for your opinion!

Cheers
Lluis
