Recently one of my kids and I took the dog for a walk. I had my camera along and she asked if she could take a photo. It scares me to let a child hold my good camera but I also try to encourage interests, and I didn't have another camera with me, so I put the strap around her neck, crossed my fingers, and let her.
I think she did a pretty good job.
We're going to try again soon. I don't have any good photos of Caiman and me together and it would be nice to have one.

Project 52 - Black & White ~ Squamish Pet Photography
The Project 52 theme this week is Black & White. Black & white photos are one of my favourite things, and it is a rare photo session where I don't convert some of the photos into B&W.
Of course, if you read my blog you already know that...
We are to take new photos for the project, every week, and so I took my old boy Caiman out today. I have been trying to photograph his greying face lately, because I know it won't be so very long until photos are all I have of him, and so of course some of what I got today is details of his face.
This Project 52 is a group project. Please visit all the other talented pet photographers, starting with Toronto's Posh Pets Photography, by following the links at the bottom of our posts.

Bernie ~ Sea to Sky area pet photography
It seemed like a good day for a basset hound puppy picture. Here's Bernie:
Is it ever a bad day for a basset hound puppy picture?
(don't answer that)

Changes to the layout
The layout on the blog has been updated. There are still a few changes I need to make, but I am liking this much better than what I had before. If you see any issues please let me know!

Project 52 - Our Town ~ Squamish Pet Photographer
I have joined a group of pet photographers who do themed blog posts every week. This week the theme is "Our Town" and we are meant to show off the places where we live.
I live in Squamish, BC, Canada. Squamish lies between Vancouver and Whistler, home of the 2010 Winter Olympic games. We have both a major urban centre and a world class ski resort about 45 minutes away. Squamish is a well known destination for rock climbers, mountain bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all types. The local radio station claims to broadcast "from the best back yard in the world" and I cannot disagree with them.
Winter on the west coast is rainy, but this photo, taken on Saturday, proves we get some sunshine too.
On Tuesday I took Caiman down to the beach and snapped a few photos for this post. The beach is an old industrial area and active recreation site, and evidence of both are everywhere.
Rivet is visiting this week, so on Thursday I took her down to the Adventure Centre (our visitor centre). These shots are messier than I would usually do, usually I would put more effort into cleaning up the background, but for these my goal was to show you the scenery we have visible from everywhere in town.

Paw in Hand Open House and Opal + Trixie ~ Squamish Pet Photography
My friend Maren from Paw In Hand Pet Services has some exciting news! She is opening a new training location in downtown Squamish. There is an Open House this Friday from 4-7 pm. Please come by (leave your dog at home) and check it out! You will even be able to see some of my photos hanging on the walls.
Maren generously let me use her dogs in my 2013 Pet Calendar. Here are Opal & Trixie - aren't they cute?!

Basil ~ Squamish area Pet Photographer
Basil (that would be Mr. June to you) was a last minute addition to my 2013 calendar lineup. Like most vizslas he is wiggly, energetic, willing, glossy, and wonderfully photogenic. He also appears to be a pretzel-dog, as you can see in the photos, bending himself in ways most dogs don't.
And just look at the wrinkles on his forehead - aren't they to die for?

Digital artwork from photos ~ Squamish Pet Photographer
Last week I got some new software that helps me convert photos into digital artwork. I am having fun messing around with it!
