Back to photostream

single black lab looking for willing human to pose for nutty photographer so he can go back to chasing leaves and stalking house flies.

there seems to be a shortage of people-models (victims) who are willing to subject themselves to unpaid practice sessions so i can figure out how to use this lens properly. so i’ve tapped another species for help. better practice for me anyway, cos wow…photographing puppies? um, yeah. crazy-making.

 

i really admire the heck out of my friend and colleague, lily, who has been a volunteer puppy raiser for Guide Dogs of America for 7 years. what a labor of love. she gets these guys when they’re 8 weeks old and trains them for 18 months. at that point, she gives them back to GDA for more advanced training, and the same day, gets her new puppy. i couldn’t do it.

 

this is chandler, her latest. i love his collar. it’s like a bad tie from the 70's :o)
