    A few years ago my wife was telling me that her employer had hired a photographer to take some family pictures. My wife knows nothing about sports, certainly nothing about SI or sports photography.

    "Some guy, Walter something. Supposed to be famous in sports."

    "Walter Iooss Jr.?" I asked.

    "I think so."

    I didn't believe her. Then I saw the portraits hanging in their house and a few days later, Iooss actually had a shot of one of the daughter's featured on his website. It was a cool picture. But Dwight Clark shot was better.

    Somewhere I have a poster of Secretariat that Iooss Jr. took. Stunning. Remarkable. I have a book of his shots somewhere, too.

    My grandfather is on the top right beside the guy in the topcoat.

    Not as sexy as Chris L's, but what the hell

    I would have to go for the Orr one, tho it was a goal that beat the Blues.

    SI's favorite photo, according to that issue, was this one, of the TCU locker room before the 1957 Cotton Bowl:

    And Gary Smith wrote one of my favorite stories about it:
