It may have been, but I'm not really sure. There was another that I received $100.00 for (big bucks for a starving photog in 1968) that may have preceded the fish.
I was walking past a uniform store, and there was a mannequin in the window dressed in a nurses uniform. The store owner saw me fiddling with the camera and came out, said he'd pay $100.00 for a pic. No one, he said, was able to get a good shot because of the glass reflections. I put a pol filter on the 50mm Super Tak, and, bada bing, got the prize. It was clear he never asked a pro photog to help him out <LOL> frank theriault wrote: > Shel, > > Please tell me that the fish was in exchange for the very first photograph > you ever "sold"! > > That would make it the perfect story (not that such a thing exists <g>). > > I truly enjoyed your recollection, Shel. >
