  That's another very good point, though again taking photos with people 
in them is yet another skill that I lack. I agree, though, in general I 
(also, sigh) regret not having taken as many photos with people as the 
subject, or at least as a major part of the image. The problem is that 
it does require a deliberate effort to get it to work, or you just end 
up with a nice photo of (say) the Eiffel Tower with a bunch of people 
standing in the way of it.
