happy wednesday, everyone.
we all have a pretty miserable time …
… and then we check your teeth.
just had to add the next two … i’m still sorting through Oxford’s shoot from Sunday … these may not even be the best shots from this group. they just happen to be the first three …
have a great tuesday, everyone. i’m off to meet another four wagging clients this afternoon … hoping that the weather gods don’t conspire against us.
He’s totally impersonating a gremlin in the first shot :)Very excellent!
They are amazing.
His bosses must be thrilled with those kind of shots.
Ciao ciao
Oh wow, a kung fu dog! Amazing photos!!

omg, these are just the best and i can sooo relate to this wee boy’s air time 🙂
These three images are amazing, Illona! Look at this cutie get some serious air! Love them, can’t wait to see more!
Wild thing! Think I love you! Awesome action illona!
SUPER photos.
Crazzzzy LOL!
That second one has me thinking Bruce Lee 😉
Haha! These are so awesome Ilona!
Excellent action shots. He does look like the bad gremlin in the first photo 🙂
The first one is hilarious! Does anyone feed him after midnight? LOL! But the 3rd one is the one I’d actually frame.
on wood floors, no less! my dog would have killed himself! what a character he is!
He truly defies gravity. Did he ever have all 4 feet on the ground at the same time? OUTSTANDING pictures, Illona!!!
i just have to share a video by fellow dog photographer Anja Zaharanski from Germany. it is easily the most visually beautiful piece i’ve seen in as long as i can remember … touching me so deeply i seriously almost wept. it captures the essence of all the shared walks and hikes, the connection you share with your dog when out in the elements, the bond and the magic.
with so many clients and so many photos, i haven’t taken any time to teach myself video editing. this magical piece by Anja reminds me of how much I need to get some video of my girl Matea while she still possesses some of her vibrancy and power. this is the kind of artwork i can only dream of, one day, making of my girl.
enjoy …
and if the embedded video stutters or acts funky, you can go watch it on youtube or on Anja’s dogscanbark website.
Oh, that’s a very beautiful pet video.. it made me cried too..
I cried. Made my heart ache for my dog. It’s beautiful.
Oh yes, THANK YOU for this lovely reminder…I need to do this, too, a video…something live, while my sweet girl still lives on this earth. That vid was so lovely – please tell your friend how much it was enjoyed!
i absolutely loved this!! thank you for sharing! 🙂
Really lovely. I take loads of video but have no idea how to do anything artistic like this. Ultimately, when Blue is gone, I won’t care if it is artisitic or not. Learned this the hard way with my first dog and don’t plan on making the same mistake again. Videos show stuff photos just can’t capture – can vice versa. This is really great, thanks for sharing.
That … was … beautiful.
Just beautiful. I was truly overwhelmed watching it.
wow! amazing, so so beautiful. I’ve done some video work in the past. I need to do more…
Just lovely… I really miss my walks with Ghillie. The endless curiosity of dogs and their ‘living for the moment’ outlook always makes you realise what life is actually for.
Beautiful dog! Beautiful video!
Saw your link on facebook. Wow that is beautiful, thanks for sharing. A reminder for me to video the dogs in the woods this afternoon too 🙂
