About This Item
Ten Speed Press, 2002. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good . 7x0x7. In Very Good+ condition and Very Good+ dustjacket. Who blows the bugle at the Kentucky Derby? Who dusts the dinosaur bones at the Smithsonian? Who sniffs dog breath for a living? Who measures the breasts of real models? ODD JOBS introduces you to the real people who perform these truly peculiar jobs. In 65 intimate portraits, photo essayist Nancy Rica Schiff captures the personalities and occupations of these oddball professionals, providing a short profile of each. A 20-year photography veteran, Schiff has spent the better half of that time discovering the behind-the-scenes people who do what others can't (or won't) do. No one can say that America isn't the home of the free, the brave, and the quirky, who will do almost anything to make an honest buck.· Profiles 65 of the most unique jobs in America.· Jobs include duck walker, coin polisher, doll doctor, and artificial inseminator.
