Fun with Boxers...I just can't explain how much fun I have photographing Gromit.  He is so much fun to work with and even though he doesn't always look like he is having fun, he can't wait for me to say "OK" which in turn means he gets to move and get a treat, which happens a lot!  Another holiday portrait, I think so.  He has his little ruffled built in tuxedo shirt complete with optional red bow-tie.

Gromit's Formal Holiday Portrait...sorta...

I had been working with some lighting for an upcoming portrait and Gromit jumped into the chair and was waiting for me to take his picture.  What a good dog!

Sunrise at Natural Bridges

It was early.  Earlier than I am used to getting up on a Sunday morning, 4:30 am.  Yikes!  I had to be ready to leave the house not later than 5:30 am.  A friend met me at 5:15, we transferred equipment from one vehicle to another and off we went.  First stop, Natural Bridges State Park for sunrise.

The light was really flat and took a few minutes to clear the hills behind us, but once it did, it was the prettiest palette of pastels you ever saw.  This particular image is a 2 second exposure.  Not the longest of exposures for the morning, but I really like the color in the sky and the wave action against the rock.

Another Beautiful Coastal Sunset

Met up with a wonderful young lady this evening for a wonderful photo session.   Who could ask for anything better, the weather was fantastic, the tide was out, the sun was setting and the full moon was rising.  The colors were breath taking!!!

Studio Time!

Had some "Fun with Gromit" in the studio the other day.  He is such a character.  So good at sitting and wtaying and waiting, and tilting his head and not moving.  He is a very funny boy to watch.  Now, if I could just get a few others to behave like this....

November 3rd...Already

Today is Gromit's 3rd birthday.  Already!  It seems like just yesterday when we drove out to Sacramento to pick him up and bring him home.  He is still the same goofy puppy we was two years and ten months ago, just 65 lbs heavier.  Happy Birthday Grommie!
