The local photo store owner was putting on a "contest" and displaying the entries in his shop window. My father stopped in one Saturday afternoon to but something or other and the store owner asked if he was going to enter the "contest". My father said he wasn't whereupon the owner said "Surely you have some good pictures you're proud of." My father then said: "Bill, do you know what the definition of "good picture" is?" Bill said that he didn't and my father explained: "It's one that someone is willing to pay money to own." Walker
