I think this video will make you laugh.
There is a story in Today's
USA TODAY about
people getting rich doing dirty jobs. I had the opportunity to shoot the stills and do the video. these people were a lot of fun to meet and interview.
It sure is interesting learning how different people make their living.

Funny... my mom had someone do this for her aobut 15 years ago. He was a college student with a business named "scoops". When he graduated from college, he quit the business, and my mom couldn't find anyone else to do it for her!
When I was in 1st grade, we had a school project. We had to draw a robot that would do something to help us out. Some kids made robots to clean their rooms, others made robots to play with them, or do other chores,... My robot picked up doggie poo. My teacher told me that I had to do it over, and I couldn't make my robot do that. I couldn't figure out why, because if I could invent a robot to do anything, that would have been the 1st choice! I still don't know why she wouldn't let me do that... she must not have had a dog!

Kari-
lol. great story.
I'm sorry you had to do it over. Your teacher was definitely not a dog owner.
