[Dbix-class] How to count?...

Hello!

I have a simple tree-like structure of galleries, albums and photos; to 
count photos in all albums, I've tried to

sub count_photos {
    my $self = shift;
    return $self->photos->search->count;
}

in Album class.

However, this yields

SELECT COUNT( * ) FROM album me LEFT JOIN photo photos ON ( photos.aid = 
me.aid ) WHERE ( me.gid = ? ): '1'

which apparently returns wrong result. Can I somehow

select count(*) from  photo photos LEFT JOIN album me ON ( photos.aid = 
me.aid ) WHERE ( me.gid = ? ) ?

Or am I missing something quite SQL-trivial?

Alex.
