Lilly is a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who I photographed last year. You probably recognise this photo from my current masthead. Lilly was the winner of a competition when I was looking for more puppies to photograph and she was just so photogenic in all her shots. Poor Lilly had a bit of a rough start to life and had to undergo operations on her eyes when she was only little. Knowing this, I really love her beautiful eyes in this photo.
In early 2007 I was really starting to ramp up my pet photography business. I had a steady stream of clients and I was looking to improve processes and start on the next direction the business was going to take. That’s all history now, because my ‘real job’ took priority when I was offered an awesome position in San Diego for three years.
Just before I found out about the move, I had designed this postcard featuring a handsome German Shorthaired Pointer named Nemo. I had a whole bunch printed, but I never really got around to using them at all. The process was a lot of fun, and I’d really like to learn more about graphic design. Perhaps I should do a course, or…..maybe I have enough on my plate and I should just stick to experimentation :) A good start might be a redesign of the blog to make it look a little more funky. What do you think?
