HI!

So I totally fell in love with this adorable face.  This is "Snookie".   I got to shoot from gate for two races today, and while I was standing far away and trying to make myself as invisible and unobtrusive as possible, "Snookie" saw me and thought I was the most fascinating thing in her entire world for a few minutes. Not the race. Not the big green monster.  Not all the trucks. Or crowds. Or gate assistants. No.  It was my camera. The whole time she was:
