There are photogs (that shall remain anonymous) that are real pricks when it
comes to sending unsolicited proofs.
Others are very cool, and never had a problem with them.
Some manage to have prints for you (or proofs to order from) at the track on
Sunday that you can buy on the spot.
I think the unsolicited proofs in the mail with an invoice is quite
presumptuous, and if that's the way they want to run their business, need to
consider it a business cost. There are lots of fuzzy lines between business
and pleasure when it comes to our sport...
