I wonder how much a job like that pays....does he charge by the print? If they keep EVERYTHING are all his shots considered "keepers" ?

My husband once did color guard duty for the opening game at the Ranger's stadium. He was selected for color guard on the same day that Vice-President Cheney threw the first ball. It was a whole big deal for Dh; including getting to meet the V-P. Two weeks later I checked the mail to find a first class envelope which included a thank you letter from the VP and six autographed images of my husband shaking Cheney's hand. I have no idea who was the photographer, but even at that time was impressed by the idea of having a professional photographer travel around the country with the VP.

And totally impressed that they were thoughtful enough to send us autographed copies of the images.
