"The Yo-Yo Tester" according to ginger miller. I was so happy to meet Nancy Rica Schiff. I was working as a yo-yo tester at Spintastics for Dale & Val Oliver and she came to interview me. I am on page 60 in the second book Odder Jobs and she was so nice. I loved the interview and the picture she took. It was a great experience and one I will never forget. This is a great book and I think it shows that it's. "A fabulous curiosity." according to J. Davis. Nancy Rica Schiff has given us the second in her series about people whose work takes them outside, in some cases way outside, the box. It holds hope for those who can't seem to imagine a way out of the dull routine of normal work. A real asset to those counselling others on the difference between occupation and vocation.. seroka said Wonderful Gift. I got her first book as a gift and loved it. I bought both Odd Jobs and Odder Jobs as gifts and everyone really enjoyed them.
She has been photographing odd jobs for more than 15 years. NANCY RICA SCHIFF is a published and exhibited photographer based in New York City. Visit nancyricaschiff
