So I recently posted about how I took the official Agyness Deyn Wikipedia photo… well I am back and this time I took the photo of my personal hero, Takeru Kobayashi.  I have personally witnessed him break the hot dog eating record in 2004, break it again in 2006, and I finally saw him lose to the great Joey Chestnut.  It was a sad day for Kobayashi, but a great day for America.  Anyway, last year at the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest I had back stage passes and I took a shot of Kobayashi massaging his jaw that he supposedly injured (likely story).  We all knew he was just afraid of  Chestnut and making excuses… but I snapped this shot while he was rubbing his face… I put it on my Flickr account and a Wikipedia editor contacted me and now you can see my photo on the official Takeru Kobayashi Wikipedia page.  I guess Flickr has been good for something.  Hip hip hurray!
