This November, Showpig.com would like to recognize, show gratitude, and thank all segments of our great industry. We hope that others will also take the time to thank the ones who paved the way in the industry for them. Follow our social channels this month to read our thank you notes to the people who deserve it most! You’ve browsed the website, you’ve clicked refresh hoping the backdrop is uploaded, you’ve eagerly waited for the print to arrive in the mailbox, you’ve framed their work and hung it on your wall, but have you ever taken the time to thank the photographer behind the camera? You know what they say—a picture is worth a thousand words but consider what it takes to get that precious memory captured. The equipment, the skills, and the tireless days spent sitting in shavings often go unnoticed to most livestock exhibitors. However, it is important to thank the show photographer and support their business. Livestock photographers love what they do, but the success of their company relies on families purchasing photos. Not only does the photo purchase help the photographer, it helps others involved in your show day success. It allows you to have a token to look back on and gives the breeder a promotion- worthy image. In the end, many people benefit from the simple click of a button. So, thank you to the livestock photographers that allow us to set down our cameras and enjoy the moment with our loved ones in the ring.
