Careful what you wish for!

Some of you know I'm off to Reno in a couple days for BTCA Nationals.

We're at the Grand Sierra Resort Hotel, so it's posh digs. I'm doing sports as well as portraits and have been hoping for a lot of interest.

Last night, I got this from my website contact form:

Comments: A friend sent me your link as being the photographer for the Boston National next week. We always get a group shot of all my breeding participating and this year one of our rescues as we do Boston Terrier rescue as well. Can we request a black or red back drop? There are 20 dogs entered in over 100 events of ours. The dogs are well behaved and easily photograhped and of course we want the humans in the photo also. What is your fee, and we would be ordering several of the best photo for all to have.

After a bit of follow up it now stands at "at least" 23 dogs and 18 people divided over 10 actual families. My conference room isn't large enough for that group, but the worlds largest proscenium stage is in the facility. Maybe I can sneak in there for an hour.

Thankfully, my suite and conference room are covered by BTCA.

This strange emotion is overwhelming me... is this what jealousy feels like?

More like pity probably

Any idea how "fun" it is to pose 23 dogs at once and convince the humans to look at the camera rather than the dogs?

Maybe the dogs look better than what is behind the camera. Just sayin'.

It sounds like you need an energetic and willing assistant to help you.....*raises hand*

[Jim Poor]

I've actually put out a couple adds for assistants here locally.

You're probably a bit far from Reno!

Don't forget some bones to keep the dogs interested.. And some beer and wine for the owners
