I take many pictures pigeons and squirrels.
I'm sure when I went my noble Pulitzer prize it will be for one of those.

Eliot Erwitt is most known for pictures of dogs on walks.

I don't have the raw nerve for that line of work.
I'm sure people and photographers were telling him he was wasting his film
at first.

When he wins the big thing he's surely going to win some day in the future
I'm sure there will be a dog pic at the podium.
