This was an extremely hard shot to get. Dr. Friehe is a big teddy bear and
doesn't have a good supply of anger in his soul to call upon for a shot like
this. He kept cracking up.
As I recall, I was shooting one-for-one -- each of the 36 photos that needed to
be in the final book came from a single shot on one 36-shot roll of film. I
didn't leave myself time to take millions of coverage shots and pick the best
ones. Therefore I was very glad Dr. Friehe managed to hold a straight face for
a few seconds and that I managed to capture it in this shot. Ah yes, the good
old days before digital cameras when there was no way to know what you'd gotten
until after film processing.
