Yesterday I had a fabulous day. It was a day truly dedicated to dog photography.
First up, I went down to check out the Surf Dog Competition at Imperial Beach. What a blast! Expect some photos to make it onto A Dog A Day later this week.
In the afternoon I had the distinct pleasure of photographing my good friend Rebecca with her husband and new Puggle puppy Max. I can’t wait to show you some of these photos. This is one photogenic family.
Today is going to be spent doing some quality relaxing.
I am always so stoked when I manage to get a photo of a dog in front of a famous icon.
<Insert very best Troy McClure voice from the Simpsons> You may remember such shots as:
One of my ‘must see’ spots in San Francisco was the Painted Ladies at Alamo Square. Also known as postcard row, this is one of those photos that is really representative of the city and when I pictured what San Francisco might be like, this shot is it.
After battling with tourists in downtown, we were pleasantly surprised how quiet and peaceful Alamo Square was. Locals were enjoying the day and it was only a matter of time before I had a dog walk along the path in front of the scene I was capturing. This boy was so old that he was travelling very slowly along behind his human. He walked with a pronounced limp and stopped regularly for a rest. He was still clearly enjoying his morning stroll though.
Because the morning sun wasn’t quite hitting the houses the way I had hoped, the colours were not as brilliant as I had seen in other photos. I considered converting this to black and white but decided on this old world look instead. Do you think it works on this image?
