They posed, I shot, and as I did, this guy strolled between right through the scene. No problem... I''d just wait for the guy to move on through and retake the shot. But this guy was with some other photographers and they all stopped in front of me. The guy who had strolled through our picture REALLY liked the Jelly Belly plane. He took a picture of it with his camera (a professional grade Nikon) and then he took a picture with his phone.
That was when I noticed that the guy looked kind of familiar. He had this big ol' mustache. Then it dawned on me! Moose Peterson, the world renown wildlife photographer, and one of my personal photog heros, had walked through my picture. He was heavily engaged in a conversation with the photographers he was with and I didn't want to interupt. So I didn't say anything like, "Oh my God! It's Moose Peterson!" I kinda wish I had... but it's just not my style. I did take this photo though... real stealth like. Maybe I'll print it out and see if he'll sign it when I'm at the Photoshop World Conference in Vegas in two weeks.
Moose took some great photos at the air races. Check them out at his website.
Hope you enjoyed the story.
Keep shooting!
Ryan
