Toby is learning to play fetch .. kind of natural for him ... the big job is getting him to drop it but he improves daily .. the toy in his mouth is his favourite to fetch:-) Toby will be 13 weeks old tomorrow ...
I can teach her to fetch the newspaper? But then I’d have to teach her to open the door. Not a good idea. Ha. New plan.
Week 3 in the 52 weeks of Coco.
Coco loves fetch. She did not break eye contact with that tennis ball. I could have dangled a juicy steak in front of her and she would not have taken her eyes off of that ball. She's a true Lab. Water and fetch. Those are her passions!!
I must caveat that I took this photo with the absolute worst lens in my bag, so please forgive the obvious flaws. Its an old Nikkor 70-300 that I got in 2005 before I knew anything about what made a decent lens. oh.my.god is this lens bad. Wow. I think today is the last day I will use it. Time to save up for a used 80-200 instead. I have lately been finding myself wishing that I had something longer for some portraits and especially when I am out photographing Coco. Does the need for gear ever cease?

I had a blast doing this batik style fantasy chow. I really love working in vivid colors lately. I think I will end up using this design to create a pair of Keds tennis shoes
Shane gets really jealous when we're out in the water an he isn't. After I took a wakeboarding run he was begging to come in with me, so I invited him in. Being a retriever, he wanted to help and insisted in bringing in my board for me.

Another diafine processed shot, this time with expired Fomapan Action 400. I had heard this film wasn't ideal with Diafine, I don't think it's too shabby.
Sometimes a fixed focal length gives you more in the frame than you'd allow with a zoom. I think that look would have been less striking had I been able to zoom in close. The wife always wants close-up shots of the grandkids but I think it's nice when the subject shows just enough detail to allow your imagination to fill in the blanks. A bit like lingerie I guess!
The simple things in life like playing in the woods with my dogs really remind me what it's all about.
