Hi Everyone! That's right! We're going to the dogs! Literally. It's a funny expression. I wonder where it came from and what it means exactly. I have a feeling it's a negative expression...so maybe I don't want to know. Ha ha!
Well, you probably know already, since I don't have a lot of people in my blog circle who I don't also talk to regularly by phone, but if not, here's the scoop. We're photographing agility dog shows. Grover is patiently sitting outside the ring, in the bright sunlight waiting for a dog to run his prescribed 30 second course. In that moment, trying for a one of a kind action-packed "I gotta have this picture" shot.
I have the task of doing a quick edit of all of these fine shots and getting them ready to sell. The second day I spend talking to people about their dogs as they come looking for a photo of their favorite pup.
We shoot all kinds of dogs; big furry ones, lithe speedy ones, teeny dogs and everything in between. Soon I will learn all of their names and breeds. I tend to favor the little scruffy dogs and the lovely collies. The collies remind me of Lassie, a favorite old tv show I watched weekly as a child. Last week Richard drove down from Ventura (4 hours) and spent two days with us at the dog show in Chula Vista, bringing us those little powdered donuts and orange juice and cereal and milk and other snacks. Then he went out and brought back more food for lunch! Thank goodness he came along. We were all tired and sunburned by the day's end.
Today's event is in Oceanside, just 10 minutes from our house. I'll try to get a photo of our booth and our brand new GHOWEPHOTOGRAPHY banner to post, so you can see how official we look. Wish us luck!
