HCA Show Photographer...Again.

OK, did nobody notice all weekend long that the photographer's table was crooked?
Check your photos people.  All of the dogs should have an exagerated rise in their toplines.  Selena has a nice rise, but this was ridiculous.
You have probably already thought that something didn't look right and couldn't quite put your finger on it.  Well, here it is.
Look at the back table, higher of the two tables that he had set up, with the brown fabric draped over, for the photos.  As you are looking at it the right end is higher than the left.  I thought something was off when he sent me the original photos without the win or club logo pasted in, but as soon as I got the one that said Best of Breed, I realized that either the text was not level or the table wasn't.  With some quick and careful measuring, I realized that it was the table.  Dave said that the dogs were not comfortable on the table for photos but thought it was because the back, higher up, table was very narrow.  I tried to level it out without throwing everything else off, but finally gave up and left it.

Just one more reason to find someone else to do the photographer hiring for Nationals.
