description: 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 live models? 'Odd Jobs' introduces you to the real people who perform these and other truly peculiar jobs. In sixty-five intimate portraits, photo essayist Nancy Rica Schiff captures the personalities and occupations of these oddball professionals, providing a short profile of each. A photograper for twenty years, Schiff has spent a good portion of that time discovering the behind-the-scenes people who do what others can't (or won't) do. Along the way, she discovered in the land of the free, the brave, and the quirky, some folks will do almost anything to make an honest buck.
