When I'm in the presence of these beauties, I'm unable to appreciate the privilege, because I'm concentrating on the task at hand.
It's only when I get to see the photos later on, unexpectedly like you do, that I realise what dreamlike situation I was living in the moment.
I guess I would not make a very good job if I lost myself in the moment... this must be the definition of a professional approach.
