Favorite Shot Of Junior: And at a moderate price he can sell them a frame for the enlargement. Again he shows a sample which helps the parents to visualize their favorite shot of Junior given the same treatment as the sample. Altogether, these items add up to an order which many a specialist in the more glamorous fields of photography might envy.
A case in point is the experience of John Reed, the famous Hollywood glamour portrait photographer. Reed had captured a fabulous clientele among the motion picture stars before he ever became interested in child portraiture. It was standard practice for the rising starlet, or for the still-to-be-discovered young beauty hoping to become a starlet, to have a set of Reed pictures taken for impressing casting directors and for publicity. As you might surmise, Reed did very well.
In the shot put a heavy metal sphere is propelled from a circle seven feet in diameter; four feet of its circumference-in the forepart of the circle-contains a toeboard four inches high. In this event the shot is not allowed to pass behind or below the shoulder, so that technically it is "put" rather than "thrown." A 16-pound shot is used in major masculine competition, such as in the Olympic Games, national championships, and intercollegiate competition; the 12-pound shot is usually used by males in secondary schools, and the 8-pound shot is used in feminine competition, including the Olympic Games. In the games the shot put is also one of the 10 decathlon events for men. A put of over 65 feet has been made with the 16-pound shot, and a woman has exceeded 56 feet with the 8-pound shot.
The favorite picture used by the business owner on these giveaway cards is a shot of his own business establishment, so they do not represent any competition for the cards which you sell in gift shops, stationery stores, drug stores, hotel lobbies or restaurants.
