Up or Down, That is the Question... I'm also starting to think that some mutt's are much more interesting looking than purebreds...

I admit it - I am completely obsessed with dogs at the moment. So many breeds - Just a few images from an ongoing project. And yes, I still shoot humans for corporate, editorial and advertising purposes.
---------------
Dog day afternoon - Last water weekend of summer. Shot 30 Portuguese Water Dogs at an annual party - Just for fun. Only one incident between two intact males that lasted about five seconds.
---------------
I've been archiving this week and came across an older image... I wonder if work really was less stressful decades ago... (Although this was shot only a few years ago.)
And this (the old Denver Post Office converted to a court house) was shot right before the Timothy Mcveigh trial...
And these are oldies but goodies...

Question: It's pretty obvious if you're left or right-handed but how do you know if you have a dominant left or right eye?
Answer: Get a piece of paper, make a hole by passing a pencil through, hold out the paper in front of you and focus on something on the other side of the room. If, when you close your left eye, you can still see what you focused on, then your right eye is dominant. If the focus point isn't visible then you are left-eye dominant. What a fascinating but seemingly useless piece of information...

Zoe. Favorite food: Anything. Favorite thing to do: Anything. Discernment not part of her genetics.
---------------
Portraits for billboards... Busy, busy...
They nixed the background and went with blue... Happy clients either way.
---------------
A 10-week old Portuguese Water Dog/Puppy. Female, Wavy. Names being considered: Mogan, Ziva, Fenton...
Update: They went with "Fenton".

Starting work on a personal project... Early stages... Look for more next month.
Have very interesting idea for a longer, ongoing project which will depend on the cooperation and willingness of participants... Attempting to find out what comes "After". More info to follow soon.

Have I mentioned how much I love my iphone? (Except the need for the constant resetting of the network...) My Portuguese Water Dog, Bodhi, has been suffering from an on-again, off-again limp (related to a tweaked vertebrae and pinched nerves in his neck) so I'm taking him to the chiropractor - He loves it... And is greatly improving. From iphone this morning:

Signing up with "Wonderful Machine" next month. See their latest press in the May issue of PDN at:

Hopefully the association will be profitable and satisfying for both parties.

Last minute shoot for Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, CA - For use in an annual report. They used the image in connection with portraits from other relevant cities to tell the story of just one patient. Very cool.

I love it when I shoot for a company and they use the images not only for print but for TV also... Elison and Carl - Thank you. Great working with you guys.

This is Gus. Look at that face. What's not to love? (We used him as a prop in a shot for an ad campaign.) I thoroughly believe in the idea that not all people are created equal, but I also believe that idea extends to dogs. Not only are dogs, even within their own breed, not identical, they have different levels of intelligence and completely different personalities and boy, do those personalities challenge you to decide who you are in the equation...

Wow! Did a 2-day stint shooting aerials of oil fields from a helicopter. Can't believe that I got paid to do that. Work is sometimes soooooo much fun. Thank you Jay and Tracy. Thanks to the pilot for keeping us safe. Did I mention that I actually got to fly it for about 5 minutes? Very squirly. Always looks so easy in the movies...

Yay. Road trip. 5-day trip through southern Colorado for STEPP "Champions Choice" campaign, courtesy of Shift Your Brand. Thank you Louie! Images coming soon. No lions, tigers or bears but plenty of tarantulas, motels (including one next to the railroad tracks so no sleep that night), greasy food, great scenery and almost one speeding ticket but somehow talked my way out it. Thank God for a clean driver's record. (And a great assistant- You know who you are!)
Here are some of the images that were animated for a TV spot...

I don't usually do PR photography but I admit, the lure of celebrity and all that DNC stuff took hold... Not to mention calls from small and large publications needing publicity shots... Busy, busy, busy... Won't bore you with lots of famous people in grip and grin situations but I did like this shot I took of Charlize Theron watching a clip from significant other's (Stuart Townsend) movie, "Battle in Seattle". And yes, she is just as beautiful in person as she is on screen...
If you're interested, also shot Stuart Townsend, Tim Daly, (Private Practice), Richard Schiff (West Wing), Josh Lucas (hubba, hubba), Alan Cumming, Tay Diggs (hubba, hubba), Tony Goldwyn (Bad guy in "Ghost"), Matthew Modine, Paul Mitchell, Gary Hart, James Carville... It is a bit weird seeing these people in the flesh...

I have to admit that I was the last in my group to get an email address, to buy a cell phone, to order a recycling bin (shame, shame) and yes, now, sadly, I am the last to blog. My hesitation has been a combination of having nothing much to say and not knowing what I wanted to say, if anything. So, after searching around and finally climbing out of my own head, I've decided to use this blog as an afterthought for some shoots, a place to post personal work and as a space to make myself stop and think for a while. (Although not for too long - I don't know about anyone else but I can think the whole day away with no more effort than it takes to down an Americano and a cranberry-orange scone.)
Onward. Last week, friends begged me to shoot their dog. His name is Jackson. His owner's name is Michael. Neither wears a white glove.
I love shooting dogs although they can be somewhat challenging with the whole language barrier thing, the attention deficit issue, the bottomless treat bag that never is bottomless and runs out at the exact moment you think you have the perfect shot, the insistence on doing things their way... Wait, maybe that says more about me... I mean, I love doing things my way, but you can learn a lot from a dog's perspective... Most of the time, in the world of Dog as in shooting, the lesson is to have fun, let go, trust the process and see what happens. And most of the time, it works out just fine.
