Irish Setters are some of my favorites!

I spent another great weekend with my Irish Setter friends earlier this month at the Irish Harvest Specialties weekend in Connecticut. Some great people and some beautiful dogs. This is my third consecutive year shooting at the show and it has become one of my favorite events of the year.

National Pet Week is here!

For all of you with "furry family members", this is the week for you! Today kicks off National Pet Week, a great reminder of how pets enhance our lives.
Celebrate by doing something special for your pets...or adopting a pet in need of a home. There are some great sites noted here for other fun things to help celebrate the week.

Something fun for ALL photographers!

Though it has been done before, it is still a great idea. The New York Times is promoting an effort to get as many people as possible to all submit a picture taken at exactly the same time all around the world. The moment they have chosen is Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 15:00 hours Coordinated Universal Time or UTC (if you have never heard of that time measure you aren't the only one! It works out to 11:00AM EST here on the East Coast).

You can read more about the effort and how to participate here. I will definitely be participating and I can't wait to see the results.

Dog bites Man('s car...and a cop to boot)!

OK, sometimes my dogs misbehave. Actually, that is what they do most of the time...but at least they've never done anything like this! Thankfully, the officer involved didn't panic and shoot the dog (even when a taser didn't stop him) and the dog has now been returned home.

Does make one wonder what the owners are (or aren't!) feeding this little guy...

The Chinese Shar-pei

I got to spend a fun weekend with the folks at the Berkshire Spur Chinese Shar-pei Club for the specialties show in early November. This was my first time working with this breed and it was fun to see them in action!

One Busy Summer!

It seems like forever since I was last able to post something! I've had a steady stream of clients to keep me busy this summer (not that I'm complaining!). Since my last post I've seen a number of things I wanted to comment on including the passing of the world's oldest dog, the passing of the world's tallest dog, and the discovery of the world's first glow-in-the-dark dog! Who knows what will happen if I take another three months off from blogging...

I'll add some new posts soon updating you on my summer adventures. :)
