    It does work great in a “reader” mode, though!

    His original words are worth reading I think.

    As a result the first sheep never achieved stardom. Nor did the second, the 19th or the 27th. We tried shearing them front to back as well as side-to-side. The well planned, half day photo shoot was trying the patience of not only the generous grazier but of the 12 motorcycle shepherds who locked arms to create a human fence around each sheep while I attempted to make a picture.

    The camera shutter clattered and 72,000 watt-seconds of flash bathed number 30 in light with a happy popping sound. The picture ran as the lead shot in my National Geographic article about wool. Number 30 went on to hire an agent and is looking for new bookings.

    I liked that cute little last line.

      Changing to a third browser and engaging reader mode, I have now read the article which as you point out is absolutely worth reading and in many ways it too is as whimsical as the photo.

      What a wild ride.
