“A photographer who told me that if I wanted great holiday snaps, I should look first at the main postcards of wherever I was and go to where they were taken, since these were the guys show had figured out the best angle to take the shot.”

Pig Looking at You
by Janet Wright
Norm and I enjoy going to garage sales and always carry our camera bags. This day it had rained the night before so the pigs were so cute and clean. The dirt was hard so they stayed clean. I just loved the three little pigs. This one was a real ham and let me take lots of pictures. Used my Canon 7D with my favorite all around lens Can-on 24-105
