No mention of the winner Andy?

Fine looking specimen. My sister used to be into dog shows. I've got a bit of talent with a camera so she asked me to come along and snap her beloved Sir Felix in an event many years ago. Okay sis, anything for you dear.

I took my top of the line (at the time) motor-driven FM2, an assortment of lenses, and a Nikon flash. As soon as I began to shoot Sir Felix I began to be approached by other dog owners.

"Ahem, would you mind taking a picture of Blizzard?"

"Well, I kind of do this for a living ma'am."

"Of course, of course. How much would you charge?"

"$200 for an 8X10 black and white print."

Done. I made $1400 that day, shooting dogs jumping over this little barrier. A fortune at that time.

I did ask my sister not to tell any of my pals, though.
