You've seen the news reports and the now iconic photo of Russel holding one finger up. That pic is credited to Bill Vassar (although several others, myself included, got the same shot) and really is a good one, in my opinion. I believe the shot I've seen in the papers was actually taken by his assistant, but it may have been Bill himself. The truely interesting thing is that when Bill wasn't immediately getting the iconic pic he wanted, he kind of made it happen. Take a look at these two pics I took. In the first Bill is holding his index finger up, indicating to Russell to do the same. I didn't hear exactly what he shouted to him, but it was along the lines of "Russell, hold your finger up like this."

That's very funny! We tell the winners of the USGA's Open Championships to "kiss the trophy"! It happens in most iconic photos!
