The ratio of good guys to bad guys (your choice) notwithstanding, I was struck by the fact that those thousands of pros are all getting the same photo, that the 'Decisive Moment' likely has hundreds of recorders. Who gets the scoop, the original?
It is also interesting how many of the guys are not focussed on the action- chimpin', adjustin', bored?
I understand the photographers position- which news or sports photographer, even a dilettante, would not want to be in Beijing but from a cost standpoint is this not a bit redundant?
