We didn’t have Sammy for long at all. But he packed a lot of love into that short time. Sammy loved us so much. He did manage to put together some adventures during our short time. Sammy even got to go camping. We explored the woods at Letchworth State Park together. Photo details: Nikon 1 J4. 1 Nikon VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6. Focal length 10mm. ISO 400. 1/200 sec. f/3.5. Thank you for… Read More
I always wanted a Husky. Then we had one. Now we have had Mojo the Husky for 14 years. Mojo has been with us longer than all but one dog that we have had. Mojo is such an odd dog, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. He often just wants to be alone. But he has been more affectionate in his old age. I love this high contrast portrait I… Read More
Little Kira was fun and adventurous for an older dog when she came to live with us. We had such a good time with her. This photo is from one of our adventures. Through our bond with our Bernese Mountain Dogs we have had the opportunity to meet people and go to some fun events. This photo is from the International Bernese Mountain Dog Walk we attended. We stopped to enjoy the… Read More
I love to see people out with their dogs having fun. Humans and dogs having fun together. That is one of the best things in life. I watch this dog down at Keuka Lake playing with their human. Rushing out into the water to retrieve what their human threw for them. Swimming and splashing in the lake water. I love the contrast between the brown fur of the Labrador Retriever and its… Read More
Josie was one of our sweet Bernese Mountain Dog tribe that we have gathered in our home over the years. We were fortunate enough to adopt Josie from a rescue out in Ohio. Josie was such a sweet and shy girl. She loved to spend time with us. Unfortunately we did not get to spend as much time with her as we would have liked, as is too often the case. One… Read More
My family is full of dog lovers. Dogs have come into all of our lives in a variety of ways. Hiro was such an adorable dog who somehow ended up at our local shelter. My wife worked at the shelter at the time. We shared information about Hiro with people we knew. It was so nice when Hiro was able to be adopted by members of our family. That way a cool… Read More
I will photograph dogs at any opportunity. Show me a dog and I will take its picture. In 2009 we visited Mount Desert Island in Maine. We 3were there camping at Acadia National Park. All the natural beauties of the park and the island. But there is always time to photograph dogs. This pair of Golden Retrievers were out at the park in Bar Harbor with Their humans. I couldn’t resist taking… Read More
It is happily one of my favorite times of the year. It is Wine Country Circuit Dog Show week. I will be spending the next three days hanging out and photographing all the amazing dogs. I will try to photograph a variety of dogs as I normally do unless someone asks me to photograph their dog for them. If you see me there feel free to say hi.
The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Like many dog breeds, I have not seen much of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon at dog shows. I love the look of these dogs. Although I wouldn’t even know how to describe it. Medium long wiry fur coat. The fur is colored brown and gray. The dogs head is mostly brown. This description really does not do the dog justice. I think this is just a breed of… Read More
The Windsprite (Whippet – Long Haired). The Windsprite is a relatively newer breed. One I have been fortunate enough to spend some time with. I was invited to photograph a breed specialty event. I was able to watch these graceful animals compete in agility. They showed in conformation. And then they ran in lure coursing. It was a really fun day. I love the combination of coat length and color on this… Read More
