At left is the final product of a shoot we did a while back with America's VetDogs, in association with the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. The dogs are carefully selected as therapy dogs for use in war zones and veteran's hospitals, keeping our wounded military personnel on the up and up. Amazing program, and amazing people behind it.

And while on the topic of dogs, here's one of my favorite shots of late. It doesn't matter if it's a person or animal for your subject, but once you remove the eyes from a photograph, you get to walk the thin line of abstract with an image. This pup's owner was sure to order more than a few prints of this image, and I too ordered one for my portfolio just to illustrate how playful and fun you can be with a pet, while too retaining some artistic integrity.

And last but by no means least, here's a shot of bride Alex. A neighbor near the shoot had this dilapitated garage in their back yard, out of the direct, harsh sun, so I walked up and introduced myself, asking if we might make a few photographs with the wall as a background. He was confused, inisting it was being torn down soon as it was in such bad shape it wasn't even safe. PERFECT!
