As you may have guessed by the existence of today’s post, I’ve decided to keep posting a dog photo EVERY day, including weekends. I really appreciated the advice from those of you who left comments on my original post.
Thanks to Mare, VR and Lauren for giving me permission to have a break on weekends. It’s funny you know…I didn’t really feel like I needed a break from blogging I was just more concerned that no-one is reading. I guess all bloggers feel like that sometimes, but thanks for letting me know that it is ok to give myself a break every now and then :)
Thanks to Jill, Emilee, Grace and Leesia who as fellow pet photographers always drop by to let me know someone is reading. The best thing about blogging is meeting such great people (albeit over the internet) and forming little communities. We really should start a pet photographers convention or something. Every other genre of photography seem to have yearly get togethers. Why not us!
And lastly, but certainly not least, thanks to Rebecca and Polly for reminding me why I started this project in the first place. It started as a personal project, where I set out to present 365 days of dog photos from my archives as well as to challenge myself get out into the world and build upon my collection. I can certainly say it has achieved its purpose and also brought so many wonderful people into my life. Sometimes I want to give my blog a hug.
LOVE!! Sheer canine joy. And yes, I completely agree about the value of kindred spirits online. It’s pretty amazing that we can be friends and share and support each other even though we have never met in person. I hope that changes soon! Yes, absolutely a pet photographers summit is in order. My Seattle colleagues and I talked about the possibility of doing that at the CityDog art show earlier this year- I mean organizing something down the road. I know we’ve got 4 gals in Seattle who are interested! Hmm, who wants to organize it? Mia?? I’d love to come to San Diego for the first one, hee hee. I’ll volunteer for um, 2009, ha!
how did i miss this post? yes, i definitely agree we need a little network! :) and i’m excited to hear you’re keeping your blog postings to every day — i’m always amazed with the sheer variety of your collection…although i do sometimes feel like a homebody seeing all your travels! great shot, by the way, love that warm light. hope dayton’s treating you well!
Yay!!! I’m glad you decided to still post a picture every day. I love seeing them and reading about them. I love sharing them with all my family and friends too. I think it is such a great and unique idea! You’re such a creative and inspirational person and I’m so glad you’re my friend!
Sign me up…That would be wonderful!
Mia, glad to see there will be 365 dogs - put me down as an advanced order for the coffee table book I hope you produce when the 365 days are over (but then what will I do?) I love this blog!
And I vote Cali for a place to have the pet photography convention. It gives me an excuse to come down there!
Glad to hear you’ll continue to post on weekends! :D And I think it’s a great idea to start a pet photographer convention. Or something where we can encourage each other and share ideas and tips, it’d be great!
Oh you know I love your blog! I totally feel you on the pet photography convention thing. Or maybe a little network, at the very least. A place for support, encouragement, and sharing ideas. That would be awesome.
I totally agree we should start a Pet Photography Convention!! Seriously! I’m also so thankful I’ve met so many great pet photographers who give me inspiration every day.
