    Brother Ranny and I had great times together not the least of which was fishing the lake at the home of Anne and Larry Page, his niece and nephew in law in Crozier, Virginia. Being a novice fisherman I wanted a photo of my prize catch, a respectable largemouth bass. I held it up beside me and Ranny clicked a couple pictures.
    However, being a professional angler, Ranny took the fish from me saying, "that's not how you photograph a fish. This is how it's done!" I took the camera and Ranny held the 8+ pound fish not beside his body but extended at arms length in front of himself making it appear over twice it's actual size in the picture I snapped of him displaying my fish. He taught me a valuable fishing lesson that day.
