Snookie's Photography
WE TOOK SOME EXTREME CLOSE-UPS OF A BLUE HERON STANDING IN A CREEK.
WE WERE SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE PHOTOS WE RUSHED TO HAVE THEM DEVELOPED.
WHEN WE RETURNED TO GET OUR PICTURES EVERY IMAGE WAS THERE EXCEPT THE
ONES OF THE BLUE HERON, THE NEGATIVES FOR THE CRANE WERE ALSO MISSING.
WE ENQUIRED ABOUT THEIR WHEREABOUTS AND WERE TOLD, "THERE MUST BE
SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAMERA." THE CAMERA WAS CHECKED OUT, AND
FOUND TO BE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. THE FOLLOWING WEEK DAVE'S AUNT
TOOK SOME BEAUTIFUL MOON SHOTS OVER A LAKE, SHE ALSO WENT TO THE SAME
PLACE TO HAVE THEM DEVELOPED. WHEN HER FILM WAS RETURNED TO HER ALL
PICTURES AND NEGATIVES WERE THERE EXCEPT THE MOON SHOTS, THEY WERE
MISSING. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US. WE TOOK A LETTER
INTO THE DEVELOPING STORE STATING THAT IF WE SAW OUR BLUE HERON IMAGES
ANYWHERE WE WOULD TAKE ACTION OF A SWIFT AND LEGAL NATURE. FORTUNATELY
FOR US WE HAD ANOTHER ROLL OF THE SAME BLUE HERON IN THE SAME CREEK, SO
THAT IF OUR MISSING IMAGES TURN UP SOMEWHERE WE WILL HAVE PROOF OF COPYRIGHT.
DAVE AND I WORK VERY HARD TO CAPTURE OUR IMAGES OF WILDLIFE AND NATURE AND
WILL NOT SIT BACK AND LET OTHERS REAP THE BENEFITS OF OUR HARD WORK. WE
WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THE AWARD BELOW TO:
NO. 1
JOCK OSS AWARD

THIS SAME PROBLEM.
