All Tongue
On a recent shoot to Portland, OR, I visited my old college friend Chris Lang. After she picked me up from the airport, we went back to her home and prepared to go out for dinner that evening. While waiting for her to get ready for dinner, her cat decided to introduce himself. It was at that point that I discovered his rare condition, his tongue was apparently longer than he could fit into his mouth, resulting in this look which to this day can not keep me from laughing. I just think it’s the funniest thing ever! I can’t get over it! I just find it so funny!
Lucy Likes Travel Shoots
I couldn’t imagine my life without my dog Lucy. Thank you Sarah for making this clear to me. Lucy is part of my every day. She makes me take take time away from my computer screen and as you can see in these shots, even accompanies us on travel shoots. For some reason, as an artist, it even seems acceptable to bring her to formal business meetings if you can believe that, I can’t. In the first shot here you might think I tucked her in. Nope. We came back from dinner while on a shoot in Napa and found her cuddled under the blankets and nestled in her pillow. Her technique is to crawl under the covers at one point, then emerge near the pillow, ready nestle in for the long haul. The second shot is of her and my fiancee riding along in my work van, happy as can be to be included in our shoot. She even looks fulfilled in this shot, happy not to been left at home or with the dog sitter. We love her so much.
Man’s Best Friend
This week I photographed Habitat 825 in West Hollywood, CA. One of my favorite things about West Hollywood is the street life, most specifically all the walkers and runners often taking along their doggy companions. Usually these couples are willing to stand in for our shots and today was no exception. Given the location of this project, I thought incorporating mans best friend was the way to go. I ended up photographing about 16 dogs that were simply out on their daily walks, happy to take part. I was happy to make some new doggy friends and we all had a great day.
We Adopted A Doggy
Sarah and I adopted a dog today. She’s straight out of South Central! The South Central Animal Shelter that is. Apparently her previous owners tied her up and then turned her in for escaping all the time. How does that make sense? She’s part Boston Terrier and part Whippet. I can’t wait to get to know her better! Here she is on a shoot with us in Arroyo Grande.
Stop Working And Love Me
Sometimes after taking a short break from the computer, I return to my chair only to find my cat Strummer, unwilling to relinquish his position in my seat, and asking for a little attention before doing so. I can’t blame him, we have a special bond that an alley cat can only develop with someone over several years. When I work too much, he lets me know, and it helps keep me grounded. He’s the best cat ever.
