Our camping trip this year was supposed to be pet free. But, Surprise, here’s a dog into your life. We lost our dog Brynn and amidst our grieving the perfect opportunity to add a dog that will hopefully grow up into the perfect outdoor adventure dog fell into our laps. And when it comes to dogs, so often, we take those opportunities that just show up out of nowhere and bring a… Read More

The Samoyed. This photo shows a little bit of everything that is part of a dog show. In the center is the main subject the Samoyed. On the left edge of the image you can see a little bit of the dog’s handler. In the background are two spectators and one of them is clapping for the dogs in the show ring. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 70-200mm f.2.8. Focal length 95mm…. Read More

The Saluki. Salukis have a cool elegant look to them. Not a particularly fancy looking breed of dog, but they have this simple elegance in the way they present themselves. When I see them I see the athlete in them. Because I am a runner I definitely see the runner in them. The dog that wants to be on the move. They look to my like they have the body of an… Read More

The Rottweiler. Rottweilers are powerful dogs. They always seem like they would be a fun dog to spend some time with, but I have never had the opportunity to know a Rottweiler in person. But, I do really enjoy this photo of a Rottweiler. The closed eyes and open mouth lend a bit of cuteness factor to a big, beefy, strong dog. I also love how the AKC banner is in the… Read More

I love a good camping trip. An opportunity to get a little outside our comfort zone. Spend a lot of time outside. Just be out in nature. This trip was a two week long trip to the Adirondacks. For the first week I was camping alone. Then for the second week my wife joined me with our puppy River. Tent Camping Our preferred method of camping is tent camping. All of our… Read More

The Rhodesian Ridgeback. I love Rhodesian Ridgebacks. For me they are just about the perfect combination of size and agility. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a large dog that is also strong and muscular looking. But not only that they can get around and move. I love that they are known for being dogs that guard animals against lions. As a runner the fact that they have a great deal of endurance is… Read More

Redbone Coonhound I love the shade of color that the fur of the Redbone Coonhound has. It is just magnificent. And I love this photo for a very similar reason. I admittedly do not always pay a lot of attention to the handlers at dog shows I am photographing. I am 90% there for the dogs. The people don’t often figure into things for me. But when I saw this handler come… Read More

Last year I attempted the Mighty Mosquito solo 100 mile race. I was fortunate enough to be crewed and paced by a great group of people. This year I am back at the same venue. And I am here seeing many of the same great faces. However there is one big important difference. As much as to me running a 100 mile race is a team accomplishment where only 1 person gets… Read More

The Puli. This is the other dog breed that I am aware of that has chorded fur. The Puli is much small than the Komondor, however. And where the Komondor is generally white, the Puli is often black. I like this photo because it gives a good sense of motion. The fur is blown back off the Puli’s face as it moves. The motion of the moving fur reveals the Puli’s eye… Read More

The Pug. Tiny little dog. Small little wrinkled face. Short fur and floppy ears. Looking. Focused. Attention drawn. Watching for what might be in that hand. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 400. 1/320 sec. f/5.6.
