sorry homer, it wasn't my idea

future guide dog, age 7 months, wearing...a tuxedo. and yes, his name really is homer. that wasn't my idea either.

 

the groom is a co-worker's latest puppy-in-training for Guide Dogs of America. GDA will be putting out a calendar for fund raising sometime down the road, so i was talked into taking this to be a contender for the final calendar shots. his outfit was handmade by a different co-worker whose newly married son had a dog as the ring bearer. like most wedding outfits, that dog knew he couldn't wear it again, so he was willing to part with it for charity.

 

a rambunctious jet-black retriever puppy wearing a slightly-too-small black and white tux sitting in front of wetlands (with ducks! oh the temptation!) wasn't exactly easy shooting, but i am more in love with this lens by the day. and much like his photographer, homer is willing to act like a perfect angel if there's food involved later :o)
