Meet the Pups

Yesterday we brought home two new additions to the family.  They are both seven week old Australian Shepherds.  One is male and the other female.

We are absolutely stumped for a name.  A couple of suggestions were “Bonnie and Clyde” which my daughter doesn’t care for and “Samson and Delia”.  I’m open to any naming suggestions you may have.

Enough words, more pictures!

Expect LOTS of more puppy pictures in the future.  Additional Photos can be found in the Gallery.

My Dog Scooch

It broke my heart, but on the 15th of April 2010, Scooch was laid to rest after a battle with cancer.   He was one of the best dogs we ever had, eager to please and show us his love and loyalty.   We all love and miss him.

Scooch's Last Day

Time Slips By

I know I’ve been absent (again) quite awhile.  I seem to go through these spurts occasionally where I just don’t have any free time whatsoever.  Unfortunately it means that my photography is usually the first thing to stop.   I’ve also missed it immensely and have gotten determined to start doing something, anything photography related again.

To start,  I’m making a pledge to myself to post at least one photo per week.  I’m not sure if I’ll be doing any of the challenges like the DPS Weekly or Smugmug’s challenge, but I’ll get something done somewhere.

Secondly, I’m opening up this particular blog to both my dad and my daughter to use.  I’ll be showing my dad within a week or two how to use this blog but don’t expect to see my daughter Cassandra around for a few months as she’s trying to get her degree finished.  Still I’ll encourage her to try to start something with me.

Finally, this is a photo blog and considering that I would be remiss to make a post without a photo (on a photo blog at that), I’ll present you with one from a maternity shoot I did last February.

My Christmas Angels

My two Christmas Angels.  Maybe Angels isn’t the best choice of words, but both of my girls are my sweethearts.

This was one of our Christmas photos we took, I’ve been wanting to do some B&W photography for this winter season (brrr… it’s cold!) and as one of my practice/experiments, I thought it turned out kinda nice.  Taking another look I probably overdid the graininess but I promise you wont see it in all my b&w photos.

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas from all of us to all of you!
