I don't know about anybody else, but I am quite capable of making my own decision as to what shot of my dog is the best one. I just got pics in the mail from a BOB at a speciaty. Two pictures, same bad shot! I was in the right mood, so I call and asked if he took any more shots. The answer was yes and didn't I like the one he sent? I guess if I liked it, I wouldn't have asked for the others...anyway I told him the set-up was off. He told me I must be looking for something different than he looks for. Well, dah, what does anybody look for and if he doesn't know, what in the world is he doing taking pics at a dog show? He primarily looks at the head. He wants to make sure the head and ears are not blending into the background...as I look at the pic and I can't see my dog's ears! AND he wants to charge $34.00 for the print!!!! Even worse, he sent a slip of paper advertising his other business as an Identity theft something or other. Specialty clubs, PLEASE don't hire somebody just because they have a camera. I have a camera, that's pretty scary! OMG...Oak Smith has a camera!!!! Even worse. Something we don't always think about when hiring a Photographer, they not only have to be on the ball, they have to know a little about structure to know if the dog looks good or not. Otherwise, I could take my own for free and I would have nobody to be annoyed at. I AM annoyed. Thank goodness for TC!
