The contest was expertly run and promoted by Tamara Konz. My special thanks to Marcus Schlager, President NABBA/WFF Austria who was responsible for getting me to this contest and assisting in the DVD production.
Extras:
Huge Photo Gallery
Photos by Aldo Wipfli, Wayne Gallasch and some courtesy WFF.
(PHOTO EXPLANATION: I arranged before the event with the WFF President, Klaus Hoffmann to obtain a complete set of all the photos from him, taken by his official photographer Frank Altenheimer. I regret that only some individual photos of class winners were received. I had a premonition that this may happen and fortunately I was able to grab some photos during the event at the same time that I was shooting the DVDs. This is a risky thing to do and I will not do it again!
I had further good luck in that a photographer in the audience approached me and offered to help me out in taking over my still camera. His name was Aldo Wipfli and I am indebted to him for most of the photos in the DVD gallery, and for help with the cover photos as well. He did a brilliant job and my sincere thanks to him for enabling me and the fans of this WFF event to enjoy a substantial photo gallery as part of this DVD. Otherwise this feature would have been missing.)
